22-Pistepirkko are easily one of Scandinavia's most eccentric and evocative pop acts. The band's sound and diabolical dynamic, remarkably consistent over the span of the 17-year career, is a luminous, surreal, guitar-based electro-pop and proto-garage-psychedelia blended with elements of acoustic folk and spaced-out bohemian blues-rock. 22-Pistepirkko are slightly weird, slightly childish, slightly psychedelic, slightly rockin', but mostly epic, genius, and supremely Finnish.

22-Pistepikko have just finished a new and upcoming studio album, "Drops &
Kicks". It was produced together with Kalle Gustafsson of The Soundtrack Of
Our Lives. Michael Ilbert (The Hives...) and John Hanlon, engineer/producer
for Neil Young have been working on mixes. We are looking into cooperations
with suitable partners (labels, booking agents, PR).
