In his review, Juho Toivonen described the collaboration as follows: “Courtis and Lehtisalo reassemble fragments of past and future into something fluid, organic, and timeless. Their music moves beyond linear time, dissolving the boundaries between structure and chaos, improvisation and composition, the ancient and the unknown”.
ANLA COURTIS ja LEHTISALO “1972” is now available for pre-sale. The album has distribution worldwide and can now be heard on Bandcamp and other online platforms.
