Ville Leinonen
in handcuffs,
Kauko Röyhkä
in self-pity,
Kari Peitsamo
as a smart person. Risto brings back that self-esteem, naivity and reality that died with

. Haven't you heard what they whisper around Tampere?

This is the third full-length release by Finland's
Risto
for the Fonal label. Risto was formed in 2002 to bring to life the visions of singer/keyboard player
Risto Ylihärsilä
. In addition to him, the line-up includes
Tuomas Eriksson
on guitar,
Minna Kortepuro
on bass, and an ever-changing drummer.
Sähköhäiriöön
is a slightly more serious ride than before. There are darker overtones within the Finnish lyrics and sound and influences ranging from
The Beatles
to Risto's one year-old first-born son can be heard. Risto used lots of old vintage gear to record this album, and the result is a Finnish pop rallying cry, with sometimes ballad-y, sometimes searing keyboard and piano-work, recorded, mixed and mastered entirely by Risto himself. Risto continues to receive more and more attention and has gathered a loyal and large fan base in their native land with their intense performances and genre-spanning pop/rock.
Sähköhäiriöön
should please the most fervent fan as well as draw in some newcomers to their sound: a mix of anthemic rock, boozy bar-ballads, and smiling, theatrical Euro-pop.

Finland's
Risto
releases its long-awaited rip-off compilation! The group's full-length albums have been a success with critics and audiences alike and this CD collects together all the songs that people have been whispering about for the past years. This compilation includes songs from the albums
Risto
(Fonal, 2004),
Aurinko Aurinko Plaa Plaa Plaa
(FR 047CD/LP) and
Sähköhäiriöön
(FR 063CD/LP), which reached #7 on the official Finnish sales chart. There has been a lot of praise from even Risto's own idols:
Tuomari Nurmio
said that "
Risto gives hope that the rock business can still come up with unusual, untrendy and totally fresh artists
" and
Kauko Röyhkä
has noted that "
Risto reminds me of myself when I was younger
." On this compilation you'll also hear two new previously-unreleased songs, "Lyö" and "Seuraavan Sukupolven Psykopaatti." The music video for "Lyö" was recently released and was written by Risto himself and directed by
Sami Sänpäkkilä
.
