this is a band from Denmark that mix Bjork-esque vocals (bjork is an influence on their myspace page) and traditional Denmark folk music. the vocalist, Anna Katrin Egilstr? (also plays the percussion, santur, sansula, samples), is just beautiful in every sense of the word. she can pull of some vocals that i thought only Bjork could do, but at the same time she has her own voice. the music itself could be a quality neo-folk album, but with her vocals its just even better. the other members play such instruments as the viola, flutes, jews'harps, mandola, hurdy gurdies, davul, frame drums, cajon, electronic and acoustic percussion, beats, sound manipulation and live electronics. so you can see that this 5 piece band is very talented and true to their homeland. get this album if you want something fresh and exiting with gorgeous vocals and multi-instrumental music. not to mention their live show is out of this world (from what ive seen on youtube).
