Lempi Elo (FIN) is known for their unique blend of folk, pop and jazz music along with emotional live shows. Raised in a small town, Elo paints vivid landscapes from wistful summer nights to crisp winter mornings — and from sugar beet factories to blooming lilac trees.
Lempi Elo has released two full-length studio albums Aavat Veet (2024) and Huojuvat Puut (2023), which have appeared on playlists as well as Nordic radio, while her tender and driving live shows have won festival and club crowds even in Iceland. Centered on Elo's expressive voice, the band expands beyond traditional rock instrumentation, incorporating an array of string and wind instruments into its sound.
"Even though the songs speak especially with their small gestures, it's impossible not to sympathize with the joy of a collective that has realized the extent of their skills." - Soundi 2023
New album out now!
'Aavat veet' dives into the ocean of love. You can smell the summer rain and the slight danger of a storm, when under the wooden houses and linden trees that are being demolished, the challenges of getting close are discussed. An honest and intimate record reflects how to accept the beauty of love when you have grown up in sadness and grief.
"All my memories of this strange land come back when I listen to Lempi Elo's wonderful voice. It's not just her enchanting voice but also the beautiful language. Finnish was made for singing." - Michael Struis, Heaven Magazine 2025
Lempi Elo's gifts lie in her ability to create cohesive yet freely breathing atmospheres. Hannu Linkola, Soundi 2024
