Equally Stupid – Depletion
From the upcoming album Phantoms Among Us
Depletion explores the quiet collapse beneath the surface—the slow drain of energy, presence, and connection. A sparse, immersive soundscape shaped by unseen forces and lingering tension.
The release will be celebrated live at OutoJazz Festival in Outokumpu on May 16.
Released January 24, 2025 on Eclipse Music
The first single from the upcoming album Phantoms Among Us.

Reviews & Testimonials
“All in all, an excellent album in its genre. It stands out with its own path.”
Osku Rajala, Jazzrytmit, 28.11.2023
(Album review: Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson: ”Lúna”)
“Siggi creates a lush, full-bodied material from his six-string, which is complemented and enriched by Turunen's keyboard (Trapped in a Maze, Nightfall). Even more delicious than one can fully enjoy! However, this wildly massive guitar and keyboard work is counterbalanced by more serene and delicate sections (The Cabin). “
Osku Rajala, Jazzrytmit, 28.11.2023
(Album review: Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson: ”Lúna”)
"The solo highlight of the album is Trapped In A Maze, where both Rögnvaldsson's and Turunen's solos are incredibly fine and energetic. The strongest compositionally and atmospherically is The Cabin, on which the band plays with a delicate touch that I would have liked to hear more of.”
Arttu Tolonen, Soundi 1/2024
(Album review: Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson: ”Lúna”)
"This music often brings to mind a youthful Robert Fripp."
★★★★★ (5/5)
- Anthony Shaw, All About Jazz
"The group has, in a way, re-invented jazzrock"
★★★★ (4/5)
Ilari Tapio, Satakunnan Kansa 26.10.2018
"In addition to the many technically brilliant Finnish jazz guitarists it's great to hear these guys like Kalle Kalima and Siggi Rögnvaldsson coming from left field and bringing in a fresh breeze of underground and avant-garde, and keeping everybody awake."
★★★★½ (4.5/5)
