The reason: Tommi Forsström, 1/2 of the band, is moving to the US.
Once again, it's November in Finland so that means it's time for another new tune from Viola: http://www.violamusicclub.com/2011-11-saddened-yet-hopeful
November 2011's selection is an old song that was never properly recorded before, but was an old favorite at many acoustic shows.
