“Technological Sun” bears skid marks of overcoming depression and the leader, Evar Anvelt’ s devastating creative void.

The outcome is a bare chested ode to love of music. The sound of its sheer creativity bathes in gleaming synth passages, overt feelings and grandiosely reverberated vocals. In 2012 Tehnoloogiline Päike was rewarded ‘ Album of the Year’ in the electronic music category at the Estonian Music Awards.

Accolades: In 2012 last album was rewarded “Album of the Year” in electronic music category in Estonian Music Awards.  Have given full length audiovisual concert collaboration with Estonian symphonic orchestra and choir based on Tehnoloogiline Päike’s last album music.

The Estonian synth pop stars are back with their third album “Technological Sun”. The title is the direct translation of the bands name in Estonian. It includes selected works from the past four years and is formed into a 44 minute LP. The music has been labeled ‘ experimental, ‘ electronic and ‘ pop and it was recorded exclusively on analog instruments and effect processors.

Compared to Tehnoloogiline Päike’ s previous albums, intriguing changes have been made to their distinct sound. “Technological Sun” is more intense and less restrained than its two lush predecessors. Both male and female vocals can be heard on this album, for the duo has transformed into a trio.

Tehnoloogiline Päike was formed in 2004 by Evar Anvelt. It has released two albums. The second member Mihkel Kõrvits became more active from 2007 onwards, while the new featuring member –Hannaliisa Uusma – joined the producers in 2015. Till today she is mainly known as the leading singer of widely acclaimed Estonian popgroup HU?.
