MP3: Kaneel - Born again

Kaneel is a prime example of Finnish weirdness ala magyar Posse, the Fonal label, et al. At least on this track -- the rest of the material doesn't come close. Anyhow, it's got all the proper ingredients such as folk melodies, an other-worldly voice, odd instrumentation, an unsettling vibe and so on. If I heard this out of context, I'm sure I'd correctly guess the country of origin. I especially love the Eastern Bloc-style backing vocals on this one; that's what gives it that extra ooph. I could actually do without the squeaky androgynous vox, but they work fine, it's just that I'm feeling like the technique is overused. I much prefer the deadpan droll of the chorus, that's a far better match for the mood of the song. Regardless, it's a great piece of music from a virtually unknown act and I'm happy to make their music available for others to hear.
