This Swedish quintet presents traditional Swedish and self-composed music to greatest effect. There are strong and distinctive features in most tracks, including the enchanting full sound of the nyckelharpa, jazzy inputs on sax, wild tunes on fiddle and flute, and some brilliant harmony singing – backed by guitars and drums. My highlights on the album are the songs, boasting not only excellent vocals and harmonies, but also the best musical arrangements on this generally classy album.
