Husky Rescue are a Finnish indie pop music band from Helsinki.The project was formed by Marko Nyberg, who began composing under the name in 2002, wanting to create cinematic musicinfluenced by film, photography and painting. He has counted film director David Lynch and French composer Erik Satie amonghis influences.
Husky Rescue's line-up from 2002 to 2010 consisted of Nyberg (bass), Reeta-Leena Vestman (nee Korhola, vocals), VilleRiippa (keyboards), Maria Ilmoniemi (keyboards), Anssi Sopanen (drums) and Miika Colliander (guitar).
The band's debut album Country Falls was released worldwide in October 2004.The cinematic sceneries found on the debut were further developed on 2007's Ghost Is Not Real which turned up the sonicexperimentation and detailed production without sacrificing the catchy, pop aesthetic.Nyberg's sense of dynamics and tendency towards delicacy on the album were described by Pitchfork Media as "an imaginedcollaboration, perhaps, between Ingmar Bergman and Jean-Pierre Jeunet".
Learning about a reported UFO sighting near his residence just outside central Helsinki further turned Nyberg's interesttowards the nature, thus propelling a new wave of inspiration. He saw hope and beauty in the Northern surroundings, andembarked on a solitary songwriting trip to Lapland.Heavily featuring Jari Salo, one half of the duo Pepe Deluxé and a long-time friend of Marko's, Husky Rescue's third album Shipof Light was released in January 2010.
After touring their 2010 album Ship of Light, culminating in their last performance at Flow Festival in Helsinki in August 2011,the band reorganized and renewed. Prompted in part by long-standing singer Vestman taking the opportunity to study musicaltheatre at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Nyberg decided to strip everything down and start afresh, to head into amore intimate, bright and natural direction. « hide |
