On the new studio album from Norway's Hornorkesteret, their signature reindeer antler and moose skull instruments are joined by bass and mandolin, with field recordings, langeleik and bone flute.
The compositions range from playful dance tunes to thoughtful meditations and powerful riff excursions, in an unrestricted and acoustic tonal landscape. 'Utrøst' is a minor voiced piece about a bewitched island. 'Krekling' (crowberry) is about the joy of finding berries. 'Gangar Grå' is inspired by myths of The Wild Hunt, and 'Sommerbeite' is a declaration of love from a shepherd boy to a mountain maid. On 'Dill Dall Holom', an angry shaman wakes up to protest the destruction of his forest world.
Black vinyl with incredible illustrations by Jonas Qvale.
"Marvellously unhinged... rather strange and quite wonderful and best described as ideal music for sploshing through snow to whilst making your way to the tavern over the hill" (Monolith Cocktail).
