01Apr2011:~$ Yhteen niinkuin lyhteet
Yhteen niinkuin lyhteet is from a compilation tape released at 4th Lal lal lal festival (LAL-46]. First track that was cut in Norvajärvi studio in summer 2010. The name of the track suggests an ultimate solution for non-psychedelic music (although it is debatable if such thing actually exists).

Concert calendar somewhere. Will most likely not be always updated. For the most recent info please check Fonal concert page.
17May2011:~$ Alas
Alas is from first Jarse release on Fonal. Note that although sound quality is pretty decent here, it is nothing compared to the 7" version that is cut super deep. We divided track from the middle to make sure that the sound quality will be optimal (as the sound quality of 7" dramatically drops if there is more than 2 minutes music per side. 7" version also includes multimedia features.

06Dec2011:~$ Epic with a fish and the hand with an eye
A power duo from the south coast of Finland, Jarse has been preparing for a psychedelic revolution since 2009, drawing inspiration from the psychedelic music from all decades, from dark prehistorical age to the distant future. In 2011 first official Jarse release, 7" single Alas (Fonal Records) saw daylight. It holds a record of being one of the fastest productions in the history of Fonal records, process from composing to the test pressings took less than two weeks. As the single was cut live at the tiny bedroom in eastern Helsinki with 13 session musicians, it also holds the record of being physically the tightest session in history of audio recording. To celebrate these achievements in summer 2011 Jarse played 6 week long European tour through central Europe, Scandinavia and even Iceland. Performances in pitch dark venues with a custom built flicker machine producing hallucinogenic vibrations left astonished audiences behind. While Jarse was forced to do this tour with a one member lineup, currently Jarse is manifesting their jaw-dropping version of modern day psychedelia as a two piece unit. The history of members of Jarse contains many notable bands such as Shogun Kunitoki, Rauhan Orkesteri, Kiila, Pymathon etc. Year 2012 will see the release of first Jarse full length album that has been perfected slowly since early 2010 in their remote cottage studio in Lapland, just under the arctic circle.

22Feb2012:~$ By:larm review
Some kind words by Mr. Taylor (of MOJO!): "As intense, but at the outer edges of experimentation, Finland's Jarse (yar-sa) are an off-shoot of the instrumental outfit Shogun Kunitoki. Repetitive, almost hymnal, keyboard refrains were bedded with drums and spidery guitar like a militaristic vision of Eno's Another Green World. It was impossible not to be sucked in."

31Dec2012:~$ Holy ceremony
We were shooting some uberawesome footage with our posse. This video is an exisitng proof of this. The soundtrack is the title track of our upcoming full-length album. We had to speed it up a bit (10x) to fit the length of our video though. Maybe someday we will have a longer video to go with this song that would allow us to play it with normal speed or even slower. That would surely bring some balance to the chaos we have caused.
08Jan2013:~$ A new epic with a blowfish and the hand of the man with an eye for an eye
A revised version of our history could be something like: A power duo from the south coast of Finland, Jarse has been preparing for a psychedelic revolution since 2009, drawing inspiration from the psychedelic music from all decades, from dark prehistorical age to the distant future. The history of members of Jarse contains many notable bands such as Shogun Kunitoki, Rauhan Orkesteri, Kiila, Pymathon etc. In 2011 first official Jarse release, 7" single Alas (Fonal Records) saw daylight. It holds a record of being one of the fastest productions in the history of Fonal records, process from composing to the test pressings took less than two weeks. As the single was cut live at the tiny bedroom in eastern Helsinki with 13 session musicians, it also holds the record of being physically the tightest session in history of audio recording. Jarse has been relatively buzy performing around Europe during last few years. Performances in pitch dark venues with a custom built flicker machine producing hallucinogenic vibrations left astonished audiences behind. Jarse has always given top priority to perfecting their live output as they believe that a blast of jaw-dropping moder day psychedelia is best delivered straight to the people without communicating through physical media whether it to be in analog or digital form. However a pile of of Jarse recordings have been perfected during last couple of years, ready to be delivered to the audience when the timing will be absolutely right. And as we know, timing is the key in everything.
