about
Upon the swamp glows a flickering fire. A little by little The Gates of Ice starts to shine beyond the mist, possessing its shape from the gushing vigor of the swamp. Storm wind blows polluted air and change is inevitable. Temperature rises and ice begins to thaw. The Gates starts to transform. The exterior layer of ice vaporizes while the interior coldness condenses.

Tuomas and Mindy performs seven songs on the Vigor Swamp. While most of the songs are instrumental, Mindy sings at the song Hengenvaara (Mortal Danger). She also plays the acoustic violin and Tuomas deals with the rest sounds with his modest keyboard by combining experiments made with distorted electric guitar-like instrument, organ, deep bass lines, rhythmic drum beats, synthetic and electronic sounds.

Finally Tuomas finished the album with his computer at the studio base, Kajekammio. Mindy used pastel colors to create the album cover artwork, where salient snake reflects eternal transformation.

The current essence of Jääportit feels intense, strong and polymorphous. Familiar feeling of peaceful ambient dream from the earlier releases has been broken down to reveal the austere reality around us. It’s hard to fit the album in conventional categories, because it’s kind of a musical labyrinth, definitely worth of exploring.

Track Name: Hengenvaara
Hengenvaara - Original lyrics
written by Mindy M. Heinonen

Tuuli vihloo läpi öisen oksiston
Sataa niskaan jäätä
Tumma varjo kulkee edessämme tiellä
Karmii selkäpiitä
Mietin onko jonkun meistä
Lähdettävä tänään täältä

CHORUS:
Usvaan peittyy maa
Suo sammalta kuljettaa
Suolla liikkuu maa
Virvatulet houkuttaa
Harhaan johdattaa
Kauas kannattaa
Pois hukuttaa

Näin unessa kolme perhosta vuoteeni yllä
Jäin niitä katsomaan
Antaa niiden lentää vaan
Mustaa ja valkoista
Ikuisessa unessa

2 x CHORUS

Mortal Danger - lyrics translated in English

Wind blows through the nocturnal branches
Ice falls on my neck
Dark shadow moves ahead on the road
It gives me the creeps
I wonder if one of us
Has to leave from here tonight

CHORUS:
Mist covers the earth
Swamp carries the moss
Swamp moves the ground
Will-o'-the-wisps tempt
Lead astray
Carry far away
Drown away

Asleep I saw three butterflies upon my bed
I remained to behold them
Let them fly
Black and white
In the eternal sleep

2 x CHORUS
