The smell of the forest in springtime, coming back home with soaking wet feet after a heavy autumn rain, all of the small things that slowly disappear from your life as you get older. 

Otto Taimela announces his new album "Inner Beauty" on London imprint SWIMS, telling us that “the music was born and recorded in the house of my childhood, trying my best to compose the view of the woods as the sky turns indigo on some late spring evening.” 

Straight off the heels of his more hectic IDM EP on the sister label Cold Blow, Otto returns to what he is perhaps most well known for, pastoral ambient and piano works. Inner Beauty refines what the highly sought-after 2020 album Kimmeltie revealed. Deeply introspective compositions that embody the surroundings in which it was recorded - the Finnish countryside, the forests, the harvest. 

Album available for pre-orders on LP and digital. Also announced on SWIMS is Otto Taimela & Olli Aarni collaborative limited 7" of Clouds / Waterland, covers of Gigi Masin perennials.

Vessels of Chaos is a musical tale - an ode to change and reconfiguration. Set in a crumbling lorescape, it explores primitive forms of collective organizations rooted in material reality and its associated imperfections.

It takes the form of a double EP, released on MONTAGE and Over My Body.

Both EPs explore different directions with similar structures. Seen as complementary, they explore the use of voice and organic noises as source material to craft hypnotizing soundscapes and cathartic rhythms. Infused with paleofuturist imagery, they imagine new forms of communities, beliefs, rituals and worships - cherishing communion, shifting perspectives and internal transformations as ways to situate ourselves in the emptiness of existence.

Celestial Tears blends shimmering textures with vast soundscapes, distilled with ethereal winds, heart-felt melodies, and astral cries - 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.
