Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lapinlahden Linnut formed in 1980 as a Finnish rock band with Mikko Saarela on vocals. Their music doesn't fit neatly into categories, mixing rock with folk and jazz elements, often with odd time signatures and surreal lyrics that can be both funny and sad. Songs like 'Kesäapina' and 'Älä viskaa mua pihalle' show their playful, offbeat approach.
They've released albums steadily since the mid-80s, including 'Lapinlahden Linnut' in 1985, 'Kotiinpaluu' in 1987, and 'Hullu puutarhuri' in 1989. The lineup has stayed fairly consistent with Timo Kelahaara on guitar, Pekka Myllykoski on bass, and Tapio Wilska on drums alongside Saarela.
Their unconventional style has drawn criticism at times from those who find it too bizarre or nihilistic. Saarela's documented mental health struggles have occasionally affected the band's work, but they kept recording through the 90s with albums like 'Matka jonnekin' in 1994 and 'Toiset meistä' in 1996.
