About
The electronic quartet Unya is singer-pianist Hilkka Louhivuori’s refreshing take on the trip-hoppy acid jazz of the past decades. The band is influenced by the likes of James Blake, Bon Iver, Björk, Sufjan Stevens and Laura Mvula, and labels their music “indie-electro-hop”. Their 2019 released, self-titled album is a rare treat for the sound geeks: The subtle-toned but concise tracks were recorded in Kiikala wooden church, and the modern studio production sets Louhivuori’s vocals to an international-level soundscape.
