Talmud Beachis wandering the trails marked by artists like Robert and Blind Willie Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Canned Heat, ZZ Top, J.J. Cale, and 22-Pistepirkko. During their five years of existence, apart from their eponymous first album,Talmud Beachhas released a live album with Daniel Johnstonand amotoriksingle, "Summertime Mother."The biggest hit from the debut album, "Hobo Don't Mind a Little Rain,"could be heard not only on the radio, surfing the waves for some time, but also as the theme for a hit comedy series,Napamiehet,on Finnish national television.

A Finnish proverb "calm is the loon's field" is the motto ofChief. The loon is an aquatic bird also seen on the cover of the new album. Today, music is often played at loud volume, and it has intensively produced and massive sound. ForTalmud Beach, the quest for intensity has always gone beyond the volume knob - a quiet, sensitive approach is more effective. With an open listener, the limpid surface will start to reveal the hidden depths: passing youth, a sweaty, shirtless "Kekkonen" (the former Finnish president), or endless flow of snow -all lie below.

For the opening title "Ain't So Young,"Tuomo Tuovinen directed a music video that won the grand prize at the Oulu Music Video Festival in 2015, and which can be viewed in its entiretyHERE.Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
