Finnish artist Merja Kokkonen returns as Islaja with Angel Tape, a hypnotic and cinematic collection of haunted vocal, piano, organ, and synth experiments released on Helsinki-based label Other Power. Drawing inspiration from childhood epiphanies and an alleged recording of angels singing, Kokkonen crafted this album as a bold departure from the song-based approach of her previous work, instead embracing vast, expansive fields of sound.
Angel Tape stands out as a significant entry in Islaja's celebrated catalogue, which includes releases on esteemed labels such as Ecstatic Peace!, Fonal, and Svart. Described as a "counterwork" to her recent output, this album breaks free of traditional song forms, placing the human voice at the center of music that resists easy genre classification — making it a compelling listen for fans of adventurous, boundary-pushing electronic music.
