Through cinematic indie-folk, Kieli's debut EP "Tick Tick Talk" raises personal and societal questions about time, purpose and identity. Tick Tick Talk is nostalgic and worried at times, but also playful and empowering with a vivid determination to stay present and create a better future for all beings.
"I decided to record the music myself, and that's when Tick Tick Talk really started to unfold. You would find me sitting on the floor in my family home at 4AM, scratching the old wooden floor gently, experiencing and enjoying every little detail of sound that somehow captures the essence of my childhood, uniting it with the feeling of growing up, and with who I was becoming in that specific moment." -Kieli
Kieli is the solo-project of Swedish/Finnish singer and multi-instrumentalist Elin Pöllänen. With roots in Nordic and Finno-Ugric folk music and influences such as Radiohead, Sigur ros and Björk, Kieli composes cinematic indie-folk that invites the listener to hear the versatility of instruments that can be found in an old wooden house: glockenspiel, harmonium, violin, piano, guitar, and the different sounds of wooden floors and sticks. Kieli's music embodies her commitment to human and animal rights, and sustainability. With an honest and personal voice, she wants to resonate with empathy and empowerment, and challenge the status quo.
