Puuluup

New album “Viimane suusataja” (The Last Cross-Country Skier) out now!

Puuluup is a duo – Ramo Teder (Pastacas as a solo artist) and Marko Veisson. Their first album “Süüta mu lumi” (Light My Snow) was released in 2018, second album “Viimane suusataja” came out September 2021, both by Õunaviks.

A pinch of surrealism, modern folklore and talharpa revival! The old and the new stick together like water and sleet in Puuluup’s oeuvre. The instruments – talharpas – represent tradition and folklore. The characteristically susurrus sounds of these instruments are sent through effect blocks and a looper. The lyrics and melodies are a mixture of our musical memories and improvisation. Inspiration is often drawn from leiks from Vormsi, Finnish jouhikko repertoire, Sahel’s blues, chastushkas and other elements from the musical traditions from around the world. All kinds of random sources of inspiration are similarly important – unexpected excerpts from Polish TV series, old Estonian punk and sweetbread from Vormsi Island. As a side dish, when giving live concerts they also offer choreographic flittering which emerged on its own during the numerous days these two man spent in the rehearsal rooms.
