Review
'Keyed Up' is the latest CD from this highly respected Swedish ensemble. Now back to being the original trio of Olov Johansson (nykelharpa), Mikael Marin (viola / violin) and Roger Tallroth (guitar / bouzouki), they decided to make a CD with little rehearsal, using all-original material. This CD is undoubtedly one of their strongest to date - unforgettable tunes and driving rhythms that ring in your head for days and their ability to glide from yearning themes to a full on solid wall of sound make you forget that this is only a trio. They brilliantly produce arrangements whose wealth of sound is more like an orchestra. Full-on contemporary Scandinavian music at it's best.
