Paavoharju was a Finnish musical collective of ascetic Christians[1] formed around two brothers, Lauri and Olli Ainala. They came to attention in 2005 when their debut album was highlighted as "Album of the Week" by popular publication Stylus Magazine.[2]

Their second album, 2008's Laulu Laakson Kukista (translates to A Song about Flowers of the Valley[3]) was selected by noted music website Pitchfork Media as a recommendation, and ranked 18th on Metacritic's list of the 30 best-reviewed albums of the year.[4]

The band toured the United Kingdom in mid-2007, playing shows in London and Bristol.[5]
