Nalle are a psych-folk trio, based in Glasgow, who were formed in the summer of 2004. They comprise Finnish-English vocalist Hanna Tuulikki (vocals, kantele, flute), Aby Vulliamy (viola) and Chris Hladowski (bouzouki, clarinet). Nalle combine improvisational song structures with unusual instrumentation, sometimes with a decidedly Celtic influence;. Tuulikki's vocals have been compared to those of Joanna Newsom and Björk, although they are more overtly folk-influenced.
Nalle are currently signed to Pickled Egg Records, and have also released on Singing Knives Records. Their debut album, By Chance Upon Waking has received favourable reviews thus far.
[edit] Collaborations and other projects
All three band mambers have also been involved with Scatter. Additionally, Aby Vulliamy and Chris Hladowski are members of The One Ensemble Of Daniel Padden, which also shares members with Volcano The Bear.
[edit] Trivia
Nalle is the Finnish for a (small) bear, generally a teddy bear.
