Maustetytöt (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈmɑu̯stetˌtytøt]; lit. 'spice girls')[1] is a Finnish girl group consisting of sisters Anna Karjalainen and Kaisa Karjalainen. The band's trademarks include a laconic and serious-looking performance style.[1][2]
Originally from Vaala, Maustetytöt listen to traditional Finnish schlager, and their role model is Leevi and the Leavings.[3][4] The band's record company Is This Art! describes Maustetytöt as an "indie pop duo".[2]
Maustetytöt won the Rock of the Year and Band of the Year awards at the Emma Awards in 2020.[5] Oskari Onninen from Helsingin Sanomat describes the band as "downright suspiciously 'authentic' and non-commercial".[4] According to Antti Luukkanen from Soundi, the songs contain "everyday realism and the glamor of downright misery".[6]
Maustetytöt achieved international fame when they appeared in Aki Kaurismäki's 2023 film Fallen Leaves,[1] performing the song "Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin" ("Born in sorrow and clothed in disappointment").[7] According to critic Esther Zuckerman from The New York Times, Maustetytöt is an "impossibly cool modern Finnish duo".[7][8] Also, Bilge Ebiri from Vulture finds the Maustetytöt part in the film a "showstopping appearance".[7][9] With the publicity brought by the film, Maustetytöt has accumulated many foreign music tours, such as in Sweden and Germany.[1][7]
