Review |
| | From fROOTS July 2003:
"Lead vocals are mainly by the peerless Lena Willemark, but another strong feature of the band is the thrilling combined sound of their three voices in dense-textured harmony. Instrumentally, alonside Willemark and Per Gudmundson's twin fiddles or violas plus Swedish whistles and bagpipes, Ale Moller continues to develop tone colours and the instruments to make them; here he uses his microtone-fretted stud-capo'd octave mandola. sälgpipa, small harp, shawm harmonica, his new development of a double härjedalspipa inspired by a Slovakian shepherds' whistle, and the beautiful breathy sound of a three-hole cow's horn.
16 years together so far, and they're still finding an interpreting strong tunes and songs and enriching the tradition with new ones. Polskas, halling, waltz, love songs, work songs, a ballad, an evening and a summer hymn, a song about gossip in Lena's home village, and wedding and herding songs with all the microtones that in Swedish tradtion, as in jazz, were called 'blue notes'. And in the booklet there's a recipe for the Uppland crofter's root-vegetable and bone stew of the title."
