PWMulostulo

PWMulostulo is a Finnish band formed in 2006 in the city of Turku. The group is known for blending traditional Finnish folk music with modern electronic and rock elements, creating a unique fusion that appeals to both traditional and contemporary audiences. The name "PWMulostulo" is a play on words, combining the Finnish phrase "pvm" (short for *päivämäärä*, meaning "date") with "mulostulo," which translates roughly to "emergence" or "arrival," symbolizing the band’s fresh take on Finnish folk.

The band’s sound is characterized by the use of acoustic instruments like the kantele, fiddle, and accordion alongside electronic beats, synthesizers, and distorted guitars. Their music often incorporates themes rooted in Finnish culture, mythology, and nature, while incorporating modern production techniques. PWMulostulo’s debut album, *PWMulostulo* (2008), received critical acclaim for its innovative approach to folk music, earning them a dedicated following in Finland and beyond.

In addition to their studio work, PWMulostulo has performed at various festivals and events, both nationally and internationally, showcasing their ability to engage audiences with live performances that blend traditional storytelling with energetic electronic rhythms. The band has also collaborated with other artists, further expanding their musical horizons.

PWMulostulo’s influence extends to the broader folk revival movement in Finland, inspiring other musicians to experiment with blending old and new musical styles. While they have not achieved mainstream global fame, their niche appeal among fans of folk-electronic fusion remains strong. The band continues to release music and perform, maintaining their reputation as pioneers in the genre.
