The distancing self-irony of Anni Lötjönen’s spikes gives a life hole to Hora’s power songs.
Whore in Tavastia on Saturday.
Whore played only one gig in the 2021 pandemic year. The third album on the list do not give up the release gigs have already been postponed, but now the celebration of the album started from the sold-out Tavastia. The performance was proficient in the wake of the break, though not as routine as the soloist Anni Lötjönen during the evening sighed.
The opening song of the gig and the album End first of all mentions (Pentti) Linkolan; the furious account of the approach to the end rings with the empowering energy that the Whore is one of the country’s tops.
Lötjönen on one side of the basic landscape of the texts is a rampant party docking, partly driven by social and world-political teasing; and the Whore would not be a Whore if it adorned its colloquial expression.
do not give up Feelings of Anxiety and Justice Focus and Clarify, Named One of Threats Putin Russia. The obvious statement was heard after the third song, when the full House agreed with Lötjönen’s declaration: all fucking support for Ukraine! All the hatred for Putin!
The slogans were followed by a piece that exploded as a punk metal precision missile Njet, Vlad: “Fist up from day to day / I resist tyranny to the last / Satan doesn’t leave Moscow, njet.”
Has any other Finnish rock act worded these collective feelings as bluntly as Hora?
About the eruption the culmination of the gig was formed, after which the pressure eased. The subjects of the songs, of course, still sound undiluted, ranging from police violence to mental health problems, but angstia is already alleviated by the therapeutic self-irony of the spikes, which gives anxiety an important breather.
When Lötjönen is in pain that he can’t stand the rage as he would like or can’t see the song list without glasses, it is also ensured that the band is not accepted as an over-the-top preacher.
And of course the punk gig is alive. Full hit on the first album Tough and screamingthe ultimatum party anthem of a wider social reference group than the band, still plays as the end of the set, a total of four encorebies.
The band Lötjönen’s debut novel, which became the speaker, last year Unfinished one of the side characters is Anni’s singer Anni, but at the center of the work is an educational description of how therapy helps the protagonist rise from his exhaustion.
Hopefully, the parallel roles are not perceived to eat each other: The whore must be allowed to rage about the injustice of the world with the aesthetics of the tick without being chained to the cultural dignity in which Lötjö would like to be planted.
