Puuluup – Neozombiepostfolk
A pinch of surrealism, modern folklore and talharpa revival. The old and the new stick together like water and sleet in duo Puuluup’s oeuvre. The instruments – talharpas (jouhikko / bowed lyre) – represent tradition and folklore and the characteristically susurrus sounds are sent through effect blocks and a looper. The lyrics and melodies are a mixture of musical memories and improvisation, and the inspiration is drawn from Finnish jouhikko repertoire, Sahel blues, chastushkas and other elements from the musical traditions from around the world. All kinds of random sources of inspiration are similarly important – unexpected excerpts from Polish TV series, old Estonian punk and sweetbread from Vormsi Island.
Puuluup was chosen as “The Band of the Year” and their second album Viimane suusataja (2021) as “The Folk Album of the Year” at the Estonian Music Awards 2022.

Puuluup – Neozombiepostfolk
Surrealistinen jouhikkovallankumous. Virolainen Puuluup taikoo ikivanhan instrumentin värähtelyt tehosteiden ja luupperien läpi ja laulaa tuuliturbiineista, puolalaisten TV-sarjojen sankareista, vormsilaisista rasvakakuista ja siitä epämiellyttävästä tunteesta, että naapurin koira saattaa puraista roskia viedessäsi – ja tietenkin hiihdosta.
Estonian Music Awards -gaalassa tammikuussa Puuluup valittiin vuoden yhteyeeksi ja duon toinen levy Viimane suusataja (2021) Vuoden folklevyksi. Vuosina 2021-22 Puuluup on noussut suureen kansainväliseen suosioon ja kiertänyt USA:ssa, Kanadassa, Japanissa, Taiwanissa ja Keski-Euroopassa.
