Press Reviews The Rocket--NW Music Demo Review 10/7/99, page 5 HELSINKI play rainy, sometimes dour acoustic music with a bit of electronic embellishment for flavor. I didn't like this Portland-based duo the first time I heard 'em, but another listen made me change my mind. Not perfect, but they're definitely onto something.
