Leaflet - Tyhjä

Review by Divya Jeeva Sree

Leaflet's third studio album, Tyhjä, is a mesmerizing collection of ambient music that takes the listener on a journey through soundscapes that are both haunting and beautiful. The album's title, which means "empty" in Finnish, sets the tone for the minimalist approach to the music. The tracks are sparse and spacious, with each note and sound carefully chosen to create a sense of emptiness and solitude.

The album opens with "Aamunkoitto," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ethereal synths and gentle melodies. The following tracks, "Kaukana" and "Tyhjä," continue this theme, with delicate piano notes and shimmering synths creating a sense of space and distance.

As the album progresses, Leaflet introduces more complex rhythms and textures, such as in "Kaikuja" and "Kaiutin," which feature glitchy beats and distorted synths. However, even in these more experimental tracks, the sense of emptiness and solitude remains at the core of the music.
