Kumea Sound releases new album "Real Music for Unreal Times: Vol. 2".

The fourth album by the Finnish composer and sound artist Lauri Wuolio is a follow up to his similarly titled album from 2015. Recorded during the spring of 2020, the album is a hopeful reflection on physical and psychological emptiness and distances the world has been experiencing during the coronavirus lockdown.

Handpans and various string instruments (such as jouhikko, viola da gamba, cello, double bass) blend seamlessly together with electronic ambiences, many of which were produced with the experimental Russian synthesizer Soma Lyra-8.

The album, which could be described as ambient chamber music from the future, may remind of the works from Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds and Arve Henriksen, but it follows its own musical language and logic. It is melancholic yet comforting ambient work for these troubled times.

Available now digitally. Preorder vinyl/cd now at Bandcamp.
