Husky Rescue performs "Sweet Little Kitten"

Meshing Brian Wilson-styled pop with epic, Floydian themes and soundscapes that recall David Lynch films, Finland’s Husky Rescue creates atmospheric down-tempo pop songs. Reminiscient of such UK acts as The Cardigans, Goldfrapp and Portishead, the group blends strange, hypnotic beats, keyboards, and vocals to create an ethereal sound that alternates between cute and playful to dark and moody. Though their debut release, Country Falls (Minty Fresh) is essentially a compilation of previously recorded EPs and singles, its release —along with a stint at this year’s Lollapolooza— is very likely to open this group up to the US market (finally!). Husky Rescue performs at Mohawk Place on Sunday (Aug. 6) at 9pm. Opening the show are Eleanors (Parasol Records) and Ice Cream Social.
