Husky Rescue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Husky Rescue is an ambient-pop band from Helsinki, Finland. The band was formed by Marko Nyberg who single-handedly began composing under the name in 2002, wanting to create cinematic music influenced by film, photography and painting. When recording the debut album Country Falls Nyberg recorded around 20 musicians and singers for use on the album - all of them good friends of Marko's and all Helsinki based. This gives a very laidback feel to the album. As Marko Nyberg puts it himself: "Every track is designed to be a warm breeze to counter the chill of daily life, whether you live in cold climes or not. All moments from life become part of the music. Husky Rescue reflects our background in Helsinki where the winter nights are so cold and long while the summer is hot and short, but oh so sweet. Its melancholic music but there is always hope. Husky Rescue's music is like the first snow on the ground when you can still see the green grass through the snow. It's like springs sunbeam after the long dark sunless winter time."
Husky Rescue also exists as a 5-member live band comprised of Marko Nyberg (bass guitar), Reeta-Leena Korhola (vocals), Ville Riippa (keyboard), Anssi Sopanen (drums) and Miika Colliander (guitar). Country Falls was released worldwide on Catskills Records in October 2004 and in spring of 2005 on Minty Fresh Records in the US.
