It is similar in style to their debut album, Pulu, with its folk influences and extensive use of Kimmo Pohjonen's accordion.

[2] The album's tracks were originally composed for Labra show made for Culture Year 2000 with Stefan Lindfors.

Alanko told that he wanted to make music that was Finnish, but that sounded universal so that language wouldn't be a barrier while listening to it.

He also wanted a choir for the project (this can be clearly heard on the album's opening track "Kirskainen Hyvätyinen").

According to Alanko the Labra was a long, heavy and demanding project that you normally shouldn't even think of doing.
