Puuluup

Band,
Pop, Folk and World

Talharpa duo from Estonia. Neozombiepostfolk duo Puuluup directs the vibrations of talharpa’s horsehair strings through effect blocks and looper, uses alternative bowing and drumming techniques and sounds. Puuluup sings about wind turbines, heroes from Polish TV series, fat cakes and the uncomfortable feeling that your neighbor’s dog might try to bite you while you take out the trash. Talharpa is a bowed lyre, popular in Northern Europe since the early middle ages and was played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century. Puuluup approaches talharpa’s bowing technique and repertory playfully by borrowing and mixing motives from different musical traditions. The music may have a dancing beat, or resemble a dark film soundtrack, spy around in the chambers of ancient talharpa players, or travel to far-away lands. We draw inspiration from Vormsi island nights, trams in November, junkies in love, criminals from Odessa and Antonio Vivaldi. Neozombiepostfolk duo Puuluup kutsub teid luuperiga paneeritud elektrohiiukannelde maailma, kus keerlevad poognad, katkevad jõhvid ning Ramo ja Marko vaatlevad vaevu vaoshoitud kirega oma surnuist ärganud rahvapille. Ansambli repertuaar kõneleb kaloririkastest Vormsi pulmatoitudest, platoonilisest armastusest kaasaegsete elektritootmisviiside vastu, loomadest ja muust päevakajalisest ning ajatust. Eestikeelsete laulude kõrval otsib Puuluubi lüürika väljendusvõimalusi ka rohkem ja vähem tundmatute keelkondade vahel ekseldes. Kontserdile sobib kaasa võtta lapsed, ema ning naabrionu, ehkki vahel võib minna pisut lärmakaks.
