XL4 is Joni Ekman & Koira’s fourth album. Does the XL stands for something bigger than what came before? Well not exactly, it’s more of the same, which is fine by me. This Finnish quartet specializes in old school pub boogie’n’roll, a sound that is very much out of time with what is hip and happening and very much for people who couldn’t care less as long as it kicks ass. Or as the press release mentions: music that is delivered with “100% energy and zero IQ.” Play loud!
XL4 is out now on Svart Records.
