Värttinä comes ever closer to the tradition and does this charmingly. Beautiful vocals, pure and clear as Finnish vodka.
(Zwolse Courant)The vocals of three heart lacerating singers are still the most important part. They started out as children, but they now are wise women with balls - fresh, surprising, fantastic
(OOR Magazine)A milestone in Scandinavian folk
(Het Financieele Dagblad)Värttinä keeps post modern influences to a minimum on ‘iki’. With crystal clear arrangements the band returns to its Karelian roots. A folk record full of nuances
(KNACK)
The band also dares to be fragile, and they enter your heart and soul. Maybe the best album of this virtuoso Finnish-Karelian band
(Torch)Everything on ‘iki’ is in its proper place. The vocals are intoxicating, the arrangements catchy (gripping)
(Haagsche Courant)A beautiful crown on 20 years of Värttinä
(Heaven)‘iki’ is the 10th album of these nine Finns and undoubtedly their best. The vocals are sublime
