Release Notes:
Two tours with Nightwish, one platinum and two golds in
Finland, numerous top-ten singles - for Indica it seems
that the only way is up. Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish,
who discovered the band and gave them his support, said:
Indica has such sights to show you! You will be spellbound
for a lifetime!
But lets start from the beginning: the Finnish girl group
was founded in 2001 by schoolmates Jonsu (vocals, violin,
guitar, keyboards, theremin) and Heini (bass), who had
played together in a childrens string orchestra. Their
line-up was soon completed by Sirkku (keyboards, clarinet,
piano), Jenny (guitar) and Laura (drums, percussion). Five
beautiful girls with just one thing in common: as fully
fledged musicians, theyre all light years away from
casting shows and musical triviality. And theyre also
great friends. You cant predict success, says singer
and lyricist Jonsu, so I didnt think about it much.
Nevertheless, success came their way pretty quickly: in
2003, they signed their first recording contract and began
work on their debut album, Ikuinen Virta, which spent 30
weeks in the Finnish charts and reached platinum sales.
Like going from zero to 60 in three seconds, theyve taken
their country by storm with their contemporary mix of pop,
rock, exotic instruments, Finnish melancholy and mystical,
nature-inspired lyrics. The press promptly coined a neat
description: mystic romantic pop.
The band has since released three more albums in Finland,
two of which went gold, remaining in the charts for weeks.
The last of the three, Valoissa (2008), was produced by
Nightwish boss Holopainen who also produced the bands new
album A Way Away. The recordings were co-produced by
Roland Spremberg (A-ha and Him, among others) and mixed by
Mark Schettler (Simply Red, Bullet for my Valentine, just
to mention a few). It is their first album in English for
the international market. I had butterflies in my tummy
when I first sang the English lyrics, Jonsu remembers and
listeners will as well when they hear A Way Away, an
album filled with lush soundscapes and rich emotion.
Alongside nature, film soundtracks have the biggest
influence on me, says the songwriter.
So now theres only one thing left to do: just press play
- and let yourself be spellbound.
