Mikko Pettinen (known from groups like UMO and Higher Ground Vocals) formed his latest group Why Not in the fall of 2018 with multi-instrumentalist Joakim Bergh?ll, bassist Vesa Ojaniemi and drummer Tuomas Timonen. Why Not plays Pettinen?s compositions where acoustic jazz meets world music, electronic tones, effects, loops and free improvisation. The compositions, which Pettinen states are "really honest and straight from the heart", are influenced by the state of the world: climate change, dystopia and nature. On the record, Pettinen wants to challenge both the listener and the band's musicians with some surprising time signatures.
