Finland's
Kemialliset Ystavat, a collective a` la Incredible String Band,
devoted their entire career to droning improvised freak-folk
for casual chanting, atonal strumming and primitive drumming.
They started out with limited-edition releases on a variety of formats,
such as the cassette Latvasta Laho (1999) and the EPs
compiled on their first album Suurempi Pieni Palatsi (2001).
Their philosophy of art was best summarized on
Kellari Juniversumi (2002).

The albums that followed were just repetitions of the same ideas, rarely
developed beyond what a stoned hippy can possibly muster:
Alkuharka (2004),
Lumottu Karkkipurkki (2005)
and Untitled (2007).
Anaksimandros, a Kemialliset Ystavat side-project, devoted Life Is A Skullbow (2001) and River Of Finland (2004) to a primitive form of free-form tribal noise.
Fricara Pacchu is the dance-pop project of Kemialliset Ystavat's Kevin Regan. After several cassettes, he released Midnight Pyre (Lal Lal Lal, 2008).
Hevoset (Dekorder, 2008) was a collaboration between
Jan Anderzen of Kemialliset Ystavat and Hirvonen of Uton.
Kemialliset Ystavat's Jan Anderzen also launched the project
Tomutonttu with
the dissonant chaotic folk music of Tomutonto (Ultra Eczema, 2006 - Fonal, 2009) and
Tomutonttu (Beta-Lactam Ring, 2007 - Fonal, 2009), an oneiric journey
with bird calls and medieval-sounding ballads.
Sami Sanpakkila adopted the moniker Es and released the solo albums
Flick (2000),
A Love Cycle (2001),
Kaikkeuden Kauneus Ja K„sitt„m„tt”myys (2004),
Sateenkaarisuudelma (2005),
Kesamaan Lapset (Fonal, 2009).
Kemialliset Ystavat's Ullakkopalo (Fonal, 2010)
boasts a vast arsenal of collaborators.
