There’s much to savour on this debut album from a meeting of Irish and Finnish minds and methods.

Slow Moving Clouds brings Finnish singer Aki together with Irish musicians Danny Diamond on fiddle and Kevin Murphy on cello for an album that is rich, intriguing and accomplished.

All the parties have form – Murphy’s work on Seti the First, for instance, comes highly recommended for its experimental poise – and their instinctive skill comes to the fore on this expansive, layered exploration of Irish and Nordic traditional sounds.

Great sweeps of lush experimentation and masterful atmospheric eclecticism take roost in the nooks between the notes, making for an intriguing listen.

The cinematic blur is enticing, especially on Suru Suuri and the title track, but there are also beguiling folk shapes to watch.
