May 15th 2025 // Debut Album – Just One Step Away from Mastering
We thought we’d also share here on our website a little recap of everything that’s happened over the past year and a half. You can find more detailed updates on our social media channels, but here’s a concise summary of the journey so far.
In December 2023, we stepped into Fantom Studio with Samu Oittinen to begin recording our debut album. We naturally started with drum tracks a moment that meant a lot. It was the starting gun for a long and carefully planned process that would carry us through the year ahead.
In January 2024, we moved back to our home studio in Seinäjoki, where we gradually continued recording guitars and bass. The work progressed at its own steady pace, step by step. As the instrumentals started to take shape, we began recording vocals, those magical moments where the songs truly started to come alive.
In the spring, we also visited Kimmo Ahola’s studio in Kauhava to record the orchestral parts, which became an essential element of the album.
Music videos became a natural part of the overall concept. We created individual videos for three songs in collaboration with ToJuSa Media, giving the tracks a visual identity. We’ve shared glimpses of these moments on social media, and when the time for the actual releases comes, we’ll open up more about the process, maybe even in a kind of diary format.
In the fall of 2024, we returned to Fantom Studio where Samu Oittinen began mixing the album. Once most of the mixes were done, we deliberately took a short break to listen, to reflect, and to test some of the new songs live. Sometimes you need to pause, take a step back, and let the music breathe.
Finally, in May 2025, we returned to Fantom Studio one last time for an intense week of finalizing the mixes together with Samu. It was a week filled with critical listening, fine-tuning, and detailed decision-making. A demanding yet rewarding process that shaped the album into a complete whole.
Track by track, a story emerged! One that speaks and resonates. Now, we can finally say it out loud: the album is one mastering session away from being complete.
We are genuinely proud of the result. This journey has meant a lot to us in many ways and soon, you’ll get to hear and see what came of it.
With Love & Peace,
Kansana, Manu, Steffi & Jere
