Indigo Dream 🇫🇮 🇭🇰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 - ‘A Bittersweet Goodbye’

Just a few days before the famous Nordic Music Review Christmas Indie Playlist makes its annual appearance, but as always I have dozens of artists I’d still like to feature before the end of the year. I have no idea where I came across Finnish band Indigo Dream, but they’ve been on my playlist for a few weeks with new track ‘A Bittersweet Goodbye’, and it’s an impressive release from a band that only made their debut this year. They’re actually only 50% Finnish courtesy of Teemu Homanen and Sauli Zinovjev, also featuring Kin Chung from Hong Kong, and Jamie Sarja-Lambert who apparently is from ‘Northern’ England, which doesn’t help me much. Hopefully he’s not from Exeter anyway, or even worse Yeovil. Anyway I like the contrasts in ‘A Bittersweet Goodbye’, a powerful opening with a dreamy melancholy melody and fuzzy accompanying guitars, but the highlight for me is the way it builds to a blistering instrumental section at the conclusion of the track, with a blissful but still melodic post rock wall of sound. They have a different feel to fellow Helsinki band Ghosts on TV for sure, but there’s some similarities in this track when they crank up the volume.

Release date. 15th November
