Paavoharju is a 10-piece Finnish collective project of ascetic born-again Christians. The sound is something between Bollywood music, church hymns, beautiful pop tunes and ambient esoteric noises. The music is just unique unlike and quite unheard before. The success of their first full LP release (Yhä Hämärää) brought immense fame to this hidden outsiders group - being chase by big labels and established groups for collaborations.

Their live appearances are extremely rare and playing Churches is their ideal setting. This will be their first ever appearance in the UK.

"Beguiling reconstitutions of free improvisation, eternal drone theatrics, psychedelic explorations, DIY punk energy and anything else that strikes their fancy. Paavoharju's eccentric production techniques reflect a similar pastiche of home-taped experimentation married to pop ecstasy" - The Wire

"Paavoharju presents a more curious mixture: a Fursaxa/Cocteau Twins B-Movie soundtrack, Sigur Rós locked in an underground cavern with Slowdive, or perhaps Syd Barrett jamming with Incredible String Band beneath a waterfall" - Pitchfork Media
