"Daring and fearless, Kuusijärvi allows his accordion to take roads that the instrument has rarely travelled before."
“Harri Kuusijärvi is ushering the accordion into novel sonic spaces."
“I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever been completely astonished at the first listen to a CD as when I slipped in Harri Kuusijarvi Koutus’ debut Koutus – – Koutus is startling, stunning and ferocious.”
"Despite the fact that it's relatively accessible and melody-focussed music, it's also innovative and exciting. This is not music I've heard before."
"Accordionist Harri Kuusijärvi and cellist Markus Hohti are among Finland’s finest practitioners in the use of live electronics, and accordingly they make a smoothly organic job of combining effects and at times furious electronic beats with acoustic sounds."
