Female vocals start off the album along with some atmospheric synths a few seconds later while stringed instruments are also use at times and also bring elements of folk music onto the recording along with a brief use of male vocals and at times the music gets very avant garde and experimental sounding.
All of the tracks sound very different from each other while some songs also bring in a small amount of saxophone solos and as the album progresses more elements of 80's era synth pop can also be heard.
Islaja plays a musical style that takes experimental, synth pop and neo-folk and mixes them together to create a sound of her own, the production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Finnish and covers themes from the Kalevala.
In my opinion Islaja are a very great sounding mixture of synth pop, experimental and neo-folk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Ghost From The Future" "Peace Pilot" and "Sun Luona Taas". 8 out of 10.
