Description:
Exciting new music from Sweden, our favorite kind: old tunes with powerful new arrangements. We first heard about them on the Internet as a young group with all the attitude of a heavy rock band, but with a sound based on the hurdy-gurdy and the folk music of their country.
Add bouzouki, fiddles, bowed harp, the intense vocals of Emma Härdelin, monstrous tom-toms, stir in the eternal buzz and drone of life, and you've got an exquisitely beautiful album that rocks like a beast.
Reviews
- "...there is a certain well-worn, beaten quality to their music, an old board from a sunken ship that is being nailed onto a new vessel." - Cliff Furnald, CMJ
- "...an Exceptionally Transcendent Life-Changing Thunderbolt From God.", - Charles Young, Addicted to Noise
