Ektro Rec.
Mummi Kutoo (FIN,rec.1973-1978)***'
This is the reissue of a really nice LP from 1975, including some recordings done the few years after until the band disbanded at the time their label went bankrupt, without having had the chance to record more than preparations for a second album, so this is a kind of complete works from this group, with 23 tracks, recorded between 1973 and 1978. The style is a warm and charming, harmonious and nicely arranged folkpsych, folkpop and a bit of softpsych with elements of Americana influences (Eastcoast, bluegrass, banjofolk, sudden New Orleans walkband jazz fun tracks,..) which are all taken to a deliberate hippie oddballity and a rather happy feeling. Aquarius records described this album as “a countrified Dungen”. Several of the bonus tracks are a still in the demo and sometime rough phase, but in fact are all tracks enjoyable.
