Pihka Is My Name

Pihka Is My Name are a Finland-based audiovisual duo who combine analogue synthesizers, hypnotic piano patterns and crunchy drum machines. Band members are composer-pianist Henna Helasvuo and producer-sound designer Lasse Turunen. The band is fronted by animation character called Pihka, an obsolete imaginary friend.

Pihka Is My Name self-released their debut album ‘Everything Is In Between’ to very positive reviews in March 2021. It was followed up ‘Dance Forbidden EP’, released via Taiwan-based Mettāsonic label in January 2022. The Sophomore album ‘Caller Unknown’ will follow in September 22nd, 2023.

The duo's live performances have impressed viewers with their frantic energy and visuals. While playing live, in addition to readymade material, the band like to improvise a lot, letting the music flow from one song to another.
