The first tastes from the album can be heard on the players below. No communication, no tire carrier, no refund. He failed to supply the carrier in the 12 weeks as agreed, March 10th 2022 he assures me he'll get one out in the next several weeks and has ghosted me since. Väisänen is definitely one of the most elegant guitarists in Finland, and his attitude towards music represent exactly the kind of earthy desire we try to preserve. Mark with Detours Of Maine received 777.00 on October 4th 2021 for a RidgeRunner tire carrier. Humu Records’ Jaakko Ryynänen is pleased with his new signing I get just the right musicians to come along every time, and for that I have to be grateful. Pöyhönen and Aho took care of the technical side, so this time I got to concentrate on guitars and amps. In the end, the album was quite easy to make. The same house has served as a HQ for many of Väisänen’s projects. The band finished and recorded the songs during two weekends at Väisänen’s grandparents’ house in Taipale, Iisalmi. At this stage the plan was to make a minimalist solo album, but the project really came to life after six months of inactivity when Pöyhönen and Aho joined.

I went through my demo archives and felt the need to wake up my sleeping ideas and experiences I had recorded. The project started about 1,5 years ago. Väisänen tells about the album’s background: A detour or ( British English: diversion) is a (normally temporary) route taking traffic around an area of prohibited or reduced access, such as a construction site. Niko Votkin (Ismo Alanko, Knucklebone Oscar) guests on the album, playing samples, synthesizer and percussion. In addition to guitarist Väisänen, the trio consists of drummer Jaakko Pöyhönen (Ina Forsman) and bassist Teemu Aho (The Offsets). Väisänen is known from bands such as Taipale, Detour 33 and Jarkka Rissanen & Sons of the Desert. In the heart of Bizzarro’s music are Markus Väisänen’s compositions, which brim with intense atmosphere. Wickedly beautiful instrumental music combo Bizzarro releases its debut album Luxardo on Friday 31st May. Listen to a sample from the upcoming album Humu Records releases Bizzarro’s debut album in May.
