Pekka Laine

Pekka Laine is leading a double life. There is his daytime persona, a longstanding journalist and maker of award-winning documentary series for radio and television. Then there is the other side to him that comes out at night: the guitar player and DIY-composer. In his intrepid journeys from primitive noise art to the spheres of soulful psychedelia, he has reached several important milestones. As a result of a series of unpredictable twists and turns, Pekka Laine’s first solo album "The Enchanted Guitar of Pekka Laine" was born in the spring of 2021. This highly personal sonic journey was greeted with rave reviews and led to forming of The Enchanted, a real juggernaut of a live band. This magnificent six piece plays an important role on the next episode of the saga. ”Pekka Laine & The Enchanted in Slumberland” (due on sep 2024) is a sophomore album that takes the art of cosmic guitar and cinematic psychedelia to a whole new level. Spiced with doses of kraut-groove, cosmic disco, trippy folk funk and the melodramatic side of giallo-soundtracks, the sound of Pekka Laine and his cohorts is bound to blow some minds.
