Blom, Venla Ilona
Nevrak
Venla Ilona Blom, the powerful vocalist and beatboxer and member of the acclaimed Finnish folk-hop vocal ensemble Tuuletar, releases her long-awaited folktronica solo debut album 'Nevrak.' The musician embarks on a journey to the green borderlands between sleeping and waking, where we can explore the fantasy land of 'Nevrak'! Blom impresses on her debut with an unusual mix of classical, folkloric, and electronic sounds. The Finnish artist draws inspiration from musicians like Enya, Kate Bush, and Eivor Pálsdóttir, yet finds her own unique voice on her solo debut. 'Nevrak' thrives on its wonderful vocal harmonies and emotionally touching string arrangements. It is unmistakable that neo-classical heavyweights such as Olafur Arnalds and Max Richter and film music guru Vangelis have influenced the album.
