Aardvark' biography
In the long line of artists whose presence and whereabouts remains enigmatic and partially unknown, we find Finnish act AARDVARK'. They were possible formed sometime in the 1990's, and issued their debut effort Nocturnal Mammal in 2000. A few years later they contributed to the Kalevala project issued by French label Musea Records. Come 2006 and we find them signed to Mellow Records, the line-up at the time confirmed as Ari Nääppä (guitars), Juha Särkioja (bass), Riku Luostari (keyboards), Timo Sivula (drums and percussion) and Tero Arteli (vocals). Their new CD is called Tuntematon Sotilas, and in a rare press release by the band we learn that Aardvark' has changed quite a lot since our first album Nocturnal Mammal and the Kalevala project.

The current status and whereabouts of this Finnish act is unknown at the time of writing.

Aardvark' Crossover Prog

Review by Evolver
Special Collaborator Crossover & JazzRock/Fusion Teams

3 stars This album by Aardvark' (How does one pronounce the apostrophe?) manages to draw me in without overwhelming me. There is nothing on it that strikes me as particularly virtuosic, but the band's use of odd time signatures and phrases is at very least intriguing.

The songs stay in the somewhat hard rock realm, with the above mentioned time changes and prog flourished added on top. At times, mostly during vocal passages (none of which I can understand, as they are sung in Finnih), the group lays back too much, but only in one song, Koskelan Taisto is that much of a detriment.

In fact, despite the criticisms, I really do enjoy this group's style, especially the passages with overlaid bass tracks (how to attract other bass players).
