Releasedate: 26-09-2010; Label: Universal
By: Nina Mende

Uniklubi is a Finnish alternative rock band. It was founded in 1999. The band became well-known for its hit “Rakkautta ja piikkilankaa” in 2004. The band’s lyrics are in the Finnish language. All members are from the town of Hämeenkyrö, except the bassist Teemu Rajamäki, who is from Ikaalinen. Originally they called themselves ‘Pincenez’ but they did not get much positive feedback about it, so they renamed their band Uniklubi, a Finnish word that means ‘Dream Club’.

The new album of Uniklubi called “Kultakalat” is now released. Ten brand new songs with its first released single “Aikasi On Nyt”. The album starts out with the very melodic song “Ikuinen” and continues with the catchy “Aikasi On Nyt”. “Kultakala” is a very thoughtful and deep song with a lot of piano playing. The closing song “Sinä Maalaat Mieleni” is a very slow and calm song which has the main focus on bass in the beginning, but later on goes over to focusing on the guitar. The new album “Kultakalat” by Uniklubi has still the typical sound of Uniklubi but a little bit more oldies and 30s influence like they had in the song “Kukka”. Also this album is not as smooth as the previous ones but has more edges in it. A wonderful new album by a great band. Enjoy “Kultakalat” by Uniklubi.
