Vuono - White Dots

I found this band early in 2019 with the release of their album White Dots. 
I was quite addicted to this album for a few months - some really melodic and pure moments and a nice mix of style throughout. 

Although not prog enough for the prog section on these forums I thought i would post about the band. 

A quintet of five musicians – Pauliina Lindell, Petteri Rajanti, Toni Hietamäki, Jussi Lehtivuori, and Antero Huttunen – from Finland.

“I think it’s high time to forget the three-minute formula for pop songs – it’s a remnant from a time when you couldn’t fit no more than three minutes on the side of a shellac record. Times have changed, and pop music should no longer be constrained by limitations on length or form,” the band asserts. “Musical ideas dictate everything for us, and all of us contribute to how the music will eventually turn out, regardless of length or musical genre.”

Their debut single “Skip Rope,” was an 11-minute kraut-pop hit.
