The band first got together as Jennie Tropik Dream and recorded only a demo of two songs at the start of 1999.
The Electric Crayon Set is a psychedelic power pop band with a raw but folky edge. It's music leans heavily on the 60's psychedelic/mod/pop legacy of The Zombies, Small Faces and The Creation, not forgetting the twisted pop geniuses of the 70's, 80's and 90's of which XTC, Martin Newell and The Jam spring to mind in the first place. Electric Crayon Sets songs have catchy choruses while the songs themselves are sometimes mystic, idiosyncratic and often even weird.
The band's recording career took off with a single The Hardest Thing/Demons In Disquise in 2000. Year 2001 saw the release of the group's debut album One Man's Trash on Timo Pääkkö's own label SoundHawk Records.
CD: 'What a Rotter of a Day ' was Released 3 July 2007.

Hieno!

Dreary night in late October
almost a week since you ve been gone
and I feel
such an overwhelming sadness
it´s slowly taking over
Killing time I am playing patience
In a dimly lit room I m shuffling cards
and I wish
they would conjure up archangels
to get my message thru
Calling on the cards to know bout you
I ´m asking them to tell me if it ´s true
and if you re with the angels
I wish they´d send my note beyond the veil
Dealing cards on to the table
By themselves they re peeling out
and I see
A foundation so enchanting
Four mighty horsemen riding
In my ears I hear the trumpets
and the Seventh Seal is breaking down
Now I know
That your soul will never die
it will be my consolation
