Sinipiika

The second album of the young Finnish singer Anu Junnonen carries the name of a Finnish forest fairy Sinipiika. She fearlessly combines her finnish tradition to electronic pop-jazz songs. An original instrumentation including accordion and trombone, together with electronic sounds, blends into adventurous songs about harbors and train stations, cups and kettles, love and longing, greedy old ladies and forest fairies. For this album she worked with a top class producer, Werner Pensaert. Electronical sounds were created by Zorko Opacic. Anu becomes aNoo with the help of these creative minds: Tuur Florizoone (Tricycle, soundtrack "Aanrijding in Moscou") on accordion, Dree Peremans (Chris Mentens, Junctions) on trombone, Yannick Peeters (Het Zesde Metaal) on double bass and Yves Peeters (Yves Peeters Group, Peer Baierlein Quartet) on drums.
