Jani Kaunis & The Puukot -Venetsia

October 31, Jani Kaunis returns with his new single Venetsia. A tale of restless romance, set where the stars burn above the canals and the moon drifts like a witness to a love already fading.
The lovers lay themselves bare, stripped of guard and guise and rubber, as the melody drifts through the night, half-lure, half-curse. It has been this way for eternity—through turning tides, volcanic fire, fallen empires, crumbling cities, and the endless parade of passions burned to smoldering ash. The constant is the restless soul, the sleepless fate that always claims its due. And that is the beauty in it.
Or as Kaunis himself puts it: “Venice smells like perfume and rot. That’s how I like my cities.”
With Venetsia, Kaunis and The Puukot carry their rautalanka far from the Arctic Circle into the devastating romance of Venice. A song of beauty and ruin, a hopeless lament wrung from the twisted void of Kaunis’s memory. And now it’s yours too.

Bio
Jani Kaunis & The Puukot are the finest popular orchestra from the North. Pure emotion and elegance, driven by the modern beauty of electrically amplified guitars.
Proper art for everything between the cradle and the grave — for eyes rapt in reverence, gazing blissfully skyward — whether toward crystal chandeliers or the mosquito-netted sunroofs of a caravan.
The music is called rautalanka —
a northern fusion of the saddest country and the twangiest surf, like the Louvin Brothers in Hawaiian shirts beneath a twisted, naked Finnish birch.
