Great album with outstanding recording quality. Varied and multi-layered arrangements. Best sound quality, although “only” CD resolution. Tip: don't listen too quietly.

Why is abbreviate such a long word?

Accidental find!
Dark Folk by a young Dutch artist. Caught me.

Good find, I'm listening to it now. It's certainly different to anything that I have heard before.

This is a copy of the review in German Metal Hammer magazine. Tried Google translate, but it ended in laughter. So I tried to translate myself. If you are interested in please pardon me for my English

"If you want to travel this year, you don't need to book an expensive flight:

Music on. Close your eyes.

Let it drift. The Dutch singer, musician, songwriter and producer Kati Rán is considered a genre pioneer of dark folk and embarks on a deep musical and personal journey with her second album SÁLA (named after the Old Norse word for "soul" and "sea"). In doing so, she dares historical reinterpretations, uses in-depth research as well as Nordic reinterpretations. The result? A captivating, multifaceted and haunting concept album with an oceanic theme and first-class support: by extreme metal singer Gaahl, the Icelandic women's choir Umbra Ensemble.

And the renowned Norwegian jazz musician Karl Seglem - to name just a few. The title song 'Sála' takes time to build up and impresses with Nordic-rough, almost animalistic flair, healing songs and a soothing atmosphere.

'Hefring' fascinates with enchanting melody arcs and the symbol of the bird as freedom, while 'Blodbylgje' impresses with gloomy stories and a captivating scenery. 'Segiõ Mér' is brimming with power before 'Sátta' synonymous with "peace" and "reconciliation" rounds off the record with rich Bordun tones. The cooperation of the musicians of various genres and the sophisticated use of a wide variety of traditional instruments and languages - including Norwegian, Old Norse, Icelandic and English - give SALA a multi-layered and interesting dynamic full of dedication that is unparalleled."

I'm on the fifth track now, and so far the whole experience has been a little bit weird, but I will finish the album.

Something a bit easier going than the previous one. Although still another new artist to me.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Now for an album from an artist that I am familiar with.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

The latest album from First Aid Kit.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Another new artist to me.

The parsley in my garden was growing so well that I made pasta. Fun music instead of wine.
