Electronic pop with guitars… Influenced a lot by minimal techno and indierock.
Idolae is making music in a basement in Nokia. In a basement? They don’t have a choice.
Idolae is:
Juha Vanonen, Heikki Koskinen, Samuli Huttunen, Taneli Hermunen, Eero Heinonen
“We are currently finishing off our possible debut album preparations and looking for a way to get that to as many people as possible. Spring highlight for us will be definitely a show in Stockholm. Also working on some new stuff as always…”
Future hopes, goals and wishes?
To be respected and admired in a region near you!
If you could work with any producer in the world, who would it be?
Tim Goldsworthy of DFA. I think he is the man right now.
Which one comes first - rhythm or melody?
In our case nearly always the melody, and a good song normally has a good melody.
Your dream gig venue?
Sonar baby!
Gigs or recording?
Gigs most definitely…
The best feedback you’ve ever had?
“You’re the best band in Finland; like to see you at festival. Right now!”
-Random dude in Turku
Do lyrics matter?
I think that if you pay attention to the lyrics, the song can work in a whole new level… for better or for worse.
The best / worst lyrics ever?
The Worst: “I got nothing to say” x 300
-The Strokes
The Best: “Los Angeles/five days in/our sence of irony/is running pretty thin”
-The Tindersticks
