"A work of art that stands out from the glut of current Finn-exports of all music genres."
"Ein Gesamtkunstwerk, welches aus der Schwemme an derzeitigen Finn-Exporten aller Musikrichtungen heraussticht." Michael We / Nonpop.de
With their first album „Revolution Is Over“ the Karoshi Lovers from Helsinki/FIN rocketed
themselves from zero to one of the most appreciated acts of the Finnish indie-scene. A threepiece
performing in a quite unusual line-up (drums, piano, guitar), fronted by female singer/pianoplayer
Ms Stress, managed already then to combine catchy pop-melodies with a remarkable dark element
and a theatrical stage-appearance. An apparent thing has been from the very beginning their
flirting with the term "Karoshi" - Japanese for "sudden death from overwork". Not to surprising to
find a coverversion of the Godfather's „Birth School Work Death“. And a great one if we may say
so.
For their second album „Death Pop“ they sharpened their sound by adding more of the rocking
elements that so far were mostly a trademark of their live-shows. A smart move. The songs on
„Death Pop“ are a simply brillant blend of hard rocking guitars, bubblegum melodies, gloomy
atmosphere and dancable beats, held together by singer Ms Stress' vocal presence. There is not
to many bands this can be compared with. One might find elements of early Blondie or some bits
of PJ Harvey all accompanied by a touch of 80s pop in there but at the end of the day it's an all
original thing this nordic pop-outfit delivers.
While working on the „Death Pop“ songs Karoshi Lovers constantly kept on playing live to test the
quality of the new material in front of audiences. A method that apparently worked out nicely. With
one of the up-and-coming Finnish producers, Rami Helin, they got this highly convincing selection
of new tracks to tape. An album that is very likely to push the band to higher levels not only in
Finland.
