Nest is an atmospheric folk / acoustic group from Finland, formed in the summer of 1999, mainly focusing on the use of the Kantele, a traditional Finnish instrument. The project, led by multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Aslak Tolonen (also member of Syven and several others), has always kept a shy behaviour, releasing three studio albums along the quarter of a century and playing selected live gigs.
Nest records have always been quite hard to find, due to releases in very small runs and limited distribution. This is about to change, as Avantgarde Music will re-release all Nest albums and distribute them worldwide both on CD and, for the very first time, on vinyl.
The full re-release plan will include:
Fabled Lore / Hidden Stream (the two EPs from 2000 and 2001 will be re-released jointly)
Woodsmoke (2003)
Trail Of The Unwary (2007 – the release will also include some non-album tracks)
Mietteitä (2015 – this album has never been released in any physical format before)
The four instalments will be released at different times, Fabled Lore / Hidden Stream being the first one in June 2024.
Stay tuned for further updates!
