Guitarist Olli Hirvonen Melds Nordic Sound With Americana On Engaging 'Kielo' (ALBUM REVIEW)
Yet, the sound on this recording, Kielo, also on Ropeadope, is a whole different sound, forged during the pandemic lockdown. Not only does it fuse jazz with Americana, but he adds slide guitar, and fashions an airier, lighter overall sonic due to both his own playing and that of bassist Kenney, who plays a Fender Bass VI, a thin-necked six-string bass guitar that is tuned an octave below a normal guitar. The instrument creates sounds more associated with country and alternative music. At times it sounds like dueling guitars.
