(From Big Hassle) Acclaimed Nordic indie folk duo Tuomo & Markus have shared their latest single, “Love Coming Down,” available now via Schoolkids Records/Grandpop Records at all DSPs and streaming services.
Musically inspired by the studio songcraft of Steely Dan and galvanized thematically by the #metoo movement, “Love Coming Down” heralds the upcoming release of Tuomo & Markus’s long-awaited new album, Game Changing, arriving everywhere on Friday, October 14. Pre-orders are available now.
Produced by Tuomo & Markus – a.k.a. Finnish soul/jazz singer/pianist Tuomo Prättälä and singer-songwriter Markus Nordenstreng (of Helsinki-based roots rock band The Latebirds) – in their native Finland and studios across the US, Game Changing also includes such captivating new songs as “Wishful Information,” “Highest Mountain,” and “We’re Not Buying It,” all available now at all DSPs and streaming services. The latter two tracks are joined by official performance videos streaming now on YouTube.
Game Changing also includes the panoramic, paranoiac “Predator,” co-produced by Tuomo & Markus with multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilson (Dawes, Father John Misty, Angel Olsen) and available everywhere now for streaming and download.
Now, with the long overdue Game Changing, Tuomo & Markus have built upon their past triumphs and crafted something even more extraordinary, an urgent, electric collection of inventive improvisation and emotionally direct songcraft that simultaneously conjures both the Finnish north and the American West. From the morning call of the album-opening title track to the extended, winding roads of “Aliens With Extraordinary Talents” and “Hearing Voices,” the new album affirms Tuomo & Markus as uniquely visionary musicians whose roots and energies run long, wide and deep, through genre, era and geography.
