Maustetytöt (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈmɑu̯steʔˌtytøt]; lit. 'spice girls') [1] is a Finnish girl group consisting of sisters Anna Karjalainen and Kaisa Karjalainen . The band's trademarks include a laconic and serious-looking performance style. [1] [2]
Originally from Vaala, Maustetytöt listen to traditional Finnish schlager, and their role model is Leevi and the Leavings. [3] [4] The band's record company Is This Art! describes Maustetytöt as an " indie pop duo". [2]
Maustetytöt won the Rock of the Year and Band of the Year awards at the Emma Awards in 2020. [5] Oskari Onninen from Helsingin Sanomat describes the band as "downright suspiciously 'authentic' and non-commercial". [4] According to Antti Luukkanen from Soundi, the songs contain "everyday realism and the glamor of downright misery". [6]
Maustetytöt achieved international fame when they appeared in Aki Kaurismäki's 2023 film Fallen Leaves, [1] performing the song "Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin" ("Born in sorrow and clothed in disappointment"). [7] According to critic Esther Zuckerman from The New York Times, Maustetytöt is an "impossibly cool modern Finnish duo". [7] [8] Also, Bilge Ebiri from Vulture finds the Maustetytöt part in the film a "showstopping appearance". [7] [9] With the publicity brought by the film, Maustetytöt has accumulated many foreign music tours, such as in Sweden and Germany. [1] [7]
