A convincing debut, an impressive band, a unique mix of pop, rock and a bit of jazz. At the same time, Virva Immonen, who built the Viba band around herself, introduces herself as a very personal singer-songwriter. Immonen sings straight, sometimes with jazz-like phrasing. The songs, with their chords, often rely on all the clear box structures familiar from all sides of pop or folk. Immonen's song and a few improvisations bring a fresh clarity, making the surface shimmer, while bassist Oskari Siirtola and drummer Okko Saastamoinen focus on creating a tight rhythm mat. The album combinations with all their variations work: rhythmic beats, pop minimalism, vocalism, jazz-imprints, electronic ecstasy, all part of Viba's coloring.
