AINO SALTO 

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞

In a retelling of Finnish mythology, Aino is a character who escapes a man she does not want by transforming herself into a fish and living in the lake with the goddess of the lake. A salto is simply a brilliant move, and an invitation to stir things up.
Unfortunately, Aino can’t do a salto yet, but she’s definitely working on stirring things up.

In January 2025, Aino Salto released her first EP, ‘Imagine People As Adolescent Birds’, for which she was able to play concerts throughout Switzerland with her favourite band (Paul Butscher – flgh, Luzius Schuler – keys, Tabea Kind – double bass, Eddy Sonnenschein – drums).

This was followed in February 2026 by her second EP, ‘Guesswork’, featuring tracks such as ‘Kill The Bourgeoisie’ and ‘Hedgehog Days’, and in April 2026 by her third: ‘Feeding the Fantasy’, featuring the track ‘Poppies Forever’.
With lyrics that are sometimes political, always subversive, and cheerful melodies, Aino and her band snuck onto festival stages and the Montreux Jazz Fall Residency 2025.
Aino’s message is clear at every concert:
another world is possible, and we’ll feed the imagination until that world becomes reality.















𓇼 PRESS FOR IMAGINE PEOPLE AS ADOLESCENT BIRDS 𓇼


"Aino Salto presents Loenne as a chamber chanteuse with an intriguingly unusual line in humour, melody and rhythm" - Swiss Music Export


"On ne ratera pas son premiere EP qui vient de sortir, Imagine People As Adolescent Birds, une introspection douce-amère sur le mode pop, teintée de jazz et d'un certain fatalisme." - Virginie Nussbaum, Le Temps

"Tout au long de l’album, le jazz se balade tel un chat dans un appartement. Sûr de lui il apparaît, disparaît, se tapit derrière une boucle électro pour finalement échapper à toute tentative d’étiquetage. [...] ça nous met les oreilles et le cœur en feu" - Jean-Philippe Bernard, La Liberté


"Aino Salto packt in sieben Songs, was anderen für fünfzehn reicht."
- Linus Küng, Journal B







𓇼 PRESS FOR GUESSWORK &
 FEEDING THE FANTASY 𓇼


"Aino Salto’s joyous music is all about duality – about drawing inspiration from everyday sorrows, troubles and tragedies to bring forth a better world." - Swiss Music Export 


"Feeding the Fantasy, son dernier EP, est tout aussi incarné, viscéral. [...] Sur le mali- cieuxet exubérant Poppies Forever, Aino Salto réclame à cor et à cri une vie douce,
et des coquelicots pour toujours." -Virginie Nussbaum, Le Temps



"Un plaidoyer en faveur du vivre ensemble, ou plutôt un cri fédérateur contre l'isolement qui prend de l'ampleur dans « Feeding the Fantasy » ; en écoutant la musique, on s'amuse tout en se demandant si on a le droit de s’amuser. Oui, absolument, estime Aino Salto." - Ferarock, Découvertes
