Raivo Jackson, who will release their long-awaited debut album in February, unveiled the new single Fire Song Revisited today. The track offers a striking introduction to the band’s world, where lap steel–driven Americana, melancholy, and storytelling weave together into a cinematic whole. The group fittingly describes their style as Nordic noir.
Fire Song Revisited offers a glimpse into the mindscape of a pyromaniac, where destruction gives way to an unexpectedly beautiful view. The song is like a love ballad overshadowed by a fragile yet inevitable moment before it dissolves into a murder ballad. In its arrangement, Fire Song Revisited rises into an epic anthem.
Alongside the lap steel guitar, the second cornerstone of the band is frontman Saska’s distinctively warm voice. His vocals bring together expressive power and wistful sensitivity in a way that makes Raivo Jackson’s music instantly recognizable and deeply moving.
Raivo Jackson’s story began 15 years ago as Saska Lammila’s one-man project in London. After Saska later moved to Helsinki, the project evolved into a full band.
The original Fire Song was released on Double EP, Vol. 3 in 2008.
The upcoming album will be released both on vinyl and on digital platforms.
