Christer Nuutinen I was quite astonished to learn that these sounds actually were made by a contemporary in my close neighbourhood in Helsinki, not in a forgotten studio in some alternative reality.

"Torero" is packed tight with post-nervous breakdown garage-pop goodies in a spirit of Robert Pollard and Dirty Beaches. Favorite track: Above Magic.

Redheads 04:01
Short shorts, eyes shaded black Summer streets, romance attacks Knee highs and flaming hair I really like redheads, I do Pale legs need sunscreen Like napalm needs gasoline I lost my heart years ago I really like redheads, I do

Backwards 02:35
I've felt cold in the warmest places It sounds odd but it's real Feel me shiver in the heat wave sunshine (oh ooh oh) I hear music in quiet places Baltic sea shore rock'n'roll See me dancing in an anechoic chamber (oooh oh ooh) My room is brightest after midnight When all the lights are turned off And you walk in lady brightest angel (ooh oh ohh)
3.
I send you my fingers so you can touch me wherever you are See the world through my eyeballs, wear my skin when you're cold Dye your hair with my blood You got all of my heart babe Lay my ears next to a speaker and play me a mixtape of songs that you love Piece by piece I'm yours dear Never far, always near until the end of time You got all of my heart babe A skull and a pile of white bones Ten fingers and toes Lips that whisper you nice things when you're all alone I'll give you every little piece and every part Of my body and my heavy beating heart (You got all of my heart babe)

Memories 03:02
This song is for the girl I loved when life was wild and beautiful When kisses burned lips for hours and streets looked like a movie set A long time ago This heart was punctured by arrows, these eyes were blinded by flames Take me back so I can see you Sitting on the swing, listening to teenage love songs A long time ago

Bands! 01:25
Hey sweet sunshine let me take you out this time Let's go and see some bands tonight Hey honey pie you look so bored and fine Let's go and see some bands tonight Hey crystal eyes, you've lit my heart on fire Let's go and see some bands tonight Hey sexy you appeared in my wet dream Let's go and see some bands tonight Hey baby let's do it slowly Let's go and see some bands tonight

Above Magic 02:53
I read a book about magic but it didn't mention anything about your secret tactic of how to steal all attention Yes you're above magic, yeah you are babe I'm always seeing something that's not clear babe I watched a movie about Houdini, I sure could use his techniques To escape from these shackles, 'cos you've chained my body You're above magic, yeah you are babe I must be under a spell 'cos I can't fight these feelings...magical feelings

Zombie 02:27
I'm allergic to sunbeams I've been living like a zombie Blinds drawn, denying what's going on I tried being with others But they just made my head hurt Nobody gets me like you girl And you were right when you said I'm alone in my dead world Your world's nicer and the birds sing pretty tunes But they won't let me leave this dark place My passport expired in May 1992 Please don't give up on me I'll try to act like a human being Just hold me tight, stay near me tonight

Last Night 03:46
Last night was good but now it's all over Perfumed memories on your blouse Stick with me 'til the sun sets again Smoking Backwoods in the shade Idle hours and minutes thrown away without shame Last night we were close but now we're further Our love's distorted by the sun Bare with me and I'll take you out of here To a new city somewhere Away from worry and responsibilities
