The Scandinavian experimental radical This Empty Flow never achieved the success of their aspiration pop/space rock peers. They were every bit charming and sonically gorgeous, however they'd never gain the praise similar to the likes of Mogwai and Sigur Rós. Formed in their native Turku, Finland, in 1994, Jori Sjöroos (vocals/guitar), Niko Sirkiä (keyboards), and Aku-Tuomas Mattila (bass) created a flabby, indie reasoned and home-recorded various demo tapes. The following year, This Empty Flow sent a tapeline to the Italian mark Avantgarde Music and inked a cope in April. By September, they were in the studio qualification an album. Magenta Skycode (1996) was the fruit of those roger Sessions. The album's manufacturer, Jukka Sillanpää, was now a part of the band as the prime guitarist, however friction inside the group was brewing. Sirkiä left prior to the year's end to focus on his possess projects and the musical direction of banding was no longer in clutch. This Empty Flow had only played deuce concerts, both in Finland, by 1997, however a shift in bandmembers brought some hope back to the frazzle.
Hanna Kalske was brought on board to play keyboards and This Empty Flow spent the next class and a half recording and rehearsing for a second album. Three Empty Boys was a roughhewn EP issued by Matilla's Plastic Passion imprint in 1999. A year later on, Muovi 111 released another outtakes EP entitled Useless and Empty Songs. The band's punk-inspired ambiance was more than apparent via remixes and demos; the EP also sold for a limited edition 111 copies. Still, This Empty Flow was a fragile land. Matilla was functional with his previous group, Sad Parade, whereas Sjöroos had Fun-Tourist and Sirkiä was attached to Niko Skorpio & A\\H. Eibon Records, an Italian allocator, contacted the lot in late 2000 and This Empty Flow was persuaded enough to compile an album of rare and unreleased material. Nowafter, in all probability the best cause showcasing the band's impeccable sweetheart, appeared in 2001 while the name This Empty Flow most disappeared.
