“_Minneapolis indie-punk sibling trio Loki’s Folly are whimsically tackling government
corruption in their catchy new single ‘Beaches and Peaches.’ The band examines the
state of the world and its impending implosion while frenetic instrumentals build
and pile up. After taking listeners on a journey through howling choruses and humorous
cynicism, the song takes a brief reprieve and revisits the song’s hook, this time
through a slow and swaying, tension-filled lens.” – _**Ones To Watch**

“_Loki’s Folly play this odd and unique style of indie rock. Their new single, ‘
Beaches and Peaches,’ has this playful and quirky quality that isn’t quite like 
anything you’ve heard before. I’m going to attribute how unique the song is to their
ages. Not because they haven’t learned how play music, but more because they haven’t
learned how not to play. It’s such an odd but fun arrangement of music. If I have
to compare Loki’s Folly to anyone, I would say it’s a mash up of Jonathan Richman,
Beat Happening, and The Shaggs_.” – **If It’s Too Loud**

_“‘Beaches and Peaches’ is instantly catchy, full of classic punk grievances like
the corruption of “everything” and the punctuation of each verse line with a primal
howl. The breakdown has twinkling bells and a well-timed slide whistle. Loki’s Folly
are fully realized out the gates with a sound that is original and urgent. Their
personalities are engrained in the notes_.” – **The Luna Collective**

**FEBRUARY 7, 2023 [Minneapolis, MN] — **Playing loud music that makes them happy,**
LOKI’S FOLLY,** will be playing** 7th St Entry** in Minneapolis (_N 7th St, Minneapolis,
MN 55402_) on **Sunday, February 26** in support of their debut album,** **_**Sisu**_[
release date: **February 21, 2023 **_via_** Kitten Robot Records**].** **Comprised
of three siblings from South Minneapolis (**Annie Kuchenmeister**: age 21, guitarist
and singer; **Nissa**: age 16, drummer and singer; and **Oskar**: age 12, bassist),
each brings their own unique personality to the music, resulting linked together
by an innate bond gelled from their shared upbringing. 
For their upcoming album
release show, Loki’s Folly will be performing songs such as the compelling, high-
octane “**No Right**” (which documents the frustration for the casual injustices
women face every day), the indie rock outcry of “**The Love Song**,” and newest 
single “**[Beaches and Peaches](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2023/01/lokis-folly-share-jaunty-single-beaches-and-peaches-about-the-uncertainty-of-the-future/)**”
which The Indy Review praises, _“There is something undeniably pure in sound and
spirit in the music of Loki’s Folly. From the jolly, perfectly imperfect harmonizing,
to the bouncy drum beat and jangly guitars, to lyrics like “I’m sitting on the beaches,
eating peaches, the government is corrupt”, you can’t listen to this track and not
smile. Coming in at under two minutes, Loki’s Folly are aiming for the title of 
the Next Great Garage Band,and they may already have my vote.”_

**LOKI’S FOLLY – “The Love Song” (Live at The Current)**

Initially born from Annie and Nissa’s lessons at celebrated guitar store [Twin Town Guitars](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=1a69d2b54e&e=615f2b8493)
with Oskar adding beats to the fledgling band, Loki’s Folly really took off when
folks outside of the practice space started taking notice and helped them graduate
from adolescent play to fully realized “folly.” The siblings’ energetic and passionate
live shows have since garnered a devoted fan base from longtime Minnesota musicians,
including Soul Asylum, Haley, Gramma’s Boyfriend, The Melismatics, and Ryan and 
Pony who have all asked them to support their hometown shows. Loki’s Folly were 
also invited to perform on a special edition of [The Current’s _Local Show_](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=d194878a59&e=615f2b8493)
with Andrea Swensson in late 2019 and in January 2020 were a part of First Avenue’s
_Best New Bands of 2019_ showcase. 

“A lot of these songs were written during sleepovers in each other’s rooms, often
while sharing new music with each other and dreaming about writing songs like the
ones we would listen to,” Annie says. She also adds that most of the songs on the
album have very personal connections and are portraying a lot of the things they
find “difficult to communicate” in regular interactions. For instance, the fuzzed-
out “**Appease the Girl**,” which features **Soul Asylum**‘s **Dave Pirner** on 
guitar, is a song Annie wrote describing what it’s like having to navigate the world
as an autistic person. Overall, _Sisu_ offers a captivating view of the complex 
emotional landscape that we’ve come to know as modern adolescence, but it does so
with freeing, punky abandon.

The band recorded _Sisu _at a few different places, starting off at **Flowers Studio**
recording three songs with **Ryan Smith** and **Ed Ackerson** (_Motion City Soundtrack,
The Replacements, The Jayhawks_) shortly before he passed. The trio recalls their
time working with Ackerson as, “One of the most amazing experiences in the world.”
They then spent a day at **IPR** and recorded eight more songs with **Kevin Bowe**(
_Paul Westerberg and the Replacements_) and Smith. They also recorded “**The Little
Mermaid**” in their basement with their cousin **Russell Mark** while he was visiting
from Los Angeles. The band also had the opportunity to work with **John Fields **(
_Pink, Miley Cyrus, Andrew W.K., and Demi Lovato_) who helped them find ways to 
work creatively while doing all the mixing remotely during the pandemic.

Since the songs on their debut are a culmination of work from their childhood, _Sisu_(
a Finnish word that roughly translates to inner strength or one’s ability to push
through and overcome difficult experiences) is the perfect description of what the
band has gone through leading up to this release. With the release of the album 
finally coming up, Annie says it has been an amazing experience getting to have 
this album literally “grow up” with them and the trio is excited to finally get 
to share these songs that they’ve been working on for so long.
