11th February, 2022: Garmarna - Vedergällninge (nordic folktronica, 1999)
Garmarna were an oddity before they decided to bring electronics into their sound palate, and
although there are a couple of teething issues here, the fusion with their already
groundbreaking Nordic-folk-meets-pop approach is surprisingly solid. Where these guys succeed
are in the melodies, which are no doubt all lifted from the traditional folk playbook. It's
fascinating to hear these kinds of pagan melodies sung with guitars and drums, let alone with
synths and drum machines, but honestly the only time it isn't completely convincing is in the
opening track. It helps, of course, that they've got outstanding vocals, but I've been
impressed by the diversity in arrangements here too - they're not just leaning on the Nordic
electronica gimmick for the entire album.
7.1 (4th listen)
