From the back cover of the album:

"My first love was the accordion when I was nine years old. Afterwards I was playing electric instruments for years. Not too long ago I took up playing the accordion again at Kuusaa, in the Finnish countryside, during the warm summer nights. The rich sound of the accordion forced me to compose, and consequently, make this record."
