Jo Stance is a new project by upcoming Finnish vocalist Johanna Forsti and drummer-producer Teppo “Teddy Rok” Makynen. Johanna Forsti is a charismatic singer, who has been a mainstay in the Finnish scene for some time already, making a strong impact with her rare brand of charisma and impeccable vocal skills. Now coming up is “Jo Stance”, her first album proper. Jo Stance is a project co-produced, written, and conceived by Forsti and Teppo “Teddy Rok” Makynen, the man behind Ricky-Tick’s lauded The Stance Brothers pseudonym.More info: www.myspace.com
The Jo Stance debut album introduces a sound that is instantly approachable, and at the same time deep and filled with innovation. The vintage mood is matched by first-rate songwriting and production by Forsti and Makynen, who also play all the instruments on most of the tracks. The sessions for the Jo Stance project took place in 2009-10 at Makynen’s home studio, and the immediacy of the recordings translates well on the compact, organic groove of the track.
Soulful to the bone and with just the right amount of roughness around the edges, Jo Stance is a winner.
