MP3: Pimentola - Death is a secret

The Finns do love their tango. Even harsh industrial act Pimentola cannot resist the allure. Naturally, their interpretation of the classic style differs a bit from the norm. The song is anchored by the lilting 1-2-3 of the accordion, but the rhythm is led askew by the rough, Neubauten-inspired percussion, leading to a feeling of uneasy seasickness. Voices whisper in the background and the singing saw sounds absolutely menacing. Guest vocalist Aprox. (yes, with the period punctuation) is mostly buried in the mix, but I can definitely make out some lines concerning the concealment of bones. The tango is usually a song of love or perhaps a bit of melancholy nostalgia; this most certainly is not. This is threatening.
