Editor's note

Indica, Helsinki's underground rock band with ethereal vocals

A Finnish group that mixed rock, orchestration, and experimental touches from the late '90s onward.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Lapsuuden Metsä' or 'Missing'. They're the kind of band that stuck with an approach even when it drew some criticism.

They built a following in Helsinki's underground scene with a sound that didn't fit neatly into rock categories, blending orchestration and electronic elements. Songs like 'Lapsuuden Metsä' and 'Viimeinen Jyvä' show their range from atmospheric rock to more direct arrangements. Their 2004 album '10 H Myöhässä' went multi-platinum in Finland, with the title track about missed connections establishing them nationally.

Indica formed in Helsinki in 1996 with Jonsu Orivora on vocals, Heini Särmö on bass, Jenny Julia on drums, and Sirkku Karvonen on keyboards. Sirkku Karvonen left in 2006, but they kept recording albums like 'Tuuliset Rannikon' and 'Valoissa'.

Archive material and source history

Indica formed in Helsinki in 1996 with Jonsu Orivola on vocals, Heini Särmö on bass, Jenny Julia on drums, and Sirkku Karvonen on keyboards. They built a following in the city's underground scene with a sound that mixed rock with ethereal vocals and experimental touches.

Their 2004 album '10 H Myöhässä' became a breakthrough, going multi-platinum in Finland. The title track, a ballad about missed connections, helped establish them nationally. Sirkku Karvonen left the band in 2006, but they continued recording, with albums like 'Tuuliset Rannikon' and 'Valoissa' following.

Songs like 'Aaltojen Takaa' and 'Scissor, Paper, Rock' show their range from atmospheric rock to more direct arrangements. Their music sometimes drew criticism for blending orchestration and electronic elements in ways that didn't fit neatly into rock categories, but they kept working with that approach.
