Finnish noisemakers Siinai have returned with an ambitious, vivid 11 minutes of sound called "Ananda".

Speaking about the track, the band said: "After a long hibernation, we have risen like Lazarus from the grave. Ananda is a song that projects the feeling of first bursts of light into the depressing, murderous Finnish Kaamos. It's like riding a southbound train from Lapland into the light, into life, into bliss."

It's a sprawling piece of krautrock-infused psychedelia, with lolloping motoriks underpinnning minimalist harmonies, melodies and a heap of repetition. It's not something to be snaffled in an instant, but rather an ever-evolving ode that needs time to digest. Get lost in it. Lose yourself in the music. The moment
you own it, you better never let it go...
