| At least it’s done. After the EP “Krunk” from the year 2005, the Danish electro-folk band Valravn released their first long-playing album. Beside their own songs, Valravn took up traditional Danish, Icelandic, Swedish and Faeroese subjects and arranged them very infectious and modern. Typical Celtic instruments were skilful added with modern electronic elements. Tradition goes hand in hand with modernity. Influences of Gåte, Garmarna or Hedningarna are unmistakable. The voice of the Faeroese Singer Anna Katrin Egilstrød remembers partly to Björk, Emiliana Torrini or Eivør Pálsdóttir – sometimes powerful, sometimes soft. The listener is invited to go to a imaginary trip to the land of trolls and fairies – magical but native and real. Valravn have been creating a great and style overlapping album, which will be accepted enthusiastically by lovers of traditional music as far as rock music fans. (Anita Steck) |
