about

The second instalment of Local Al’s EP trilogy concerns the state of the world. EP2 is released the 30th August via Soliti
Aleksi Pahkala, known for his bands The Duplo! and Gim Kordon, released his first solo EP (EP1) at the dawn of this summer under the artist name Local Al. The epic opening shot ‘En luovuta’ picked up praise as far afield as Australia and raised Local Al on the domestic music scene. The upstart punky ‘Selkään puukkoja’ contrasted Local Al’s more dulcet tones, with the track making the UK Spotify The Punk List and also attracted attention amongst punk circles. The EP’s most popular love song ‘Nämä rannat kuuluvat meille’, appeared on Soundi Magazine‘s best songs of the summer with a buzzing Best of Right Now playlist.

Two limited-edition vinyl releases were released of EP1, which were sold out before the release. In addition to the digital release, the second part of the trilogy – EP2 – also have two limited vinyl releases – pick these up while stocks last!

The theme of the debut EP1 was life and love. With EP2, Pahkala – known as a human rights activist – discusses the state of the world from a political and human rights perspective.
