In Gods Musicians, Garmarna have excavated the dark side of the Swedish tradition to bring forth haunting melodies and lyrics filled with blood, guts, and doomed maidens.
Garmarna have crafted a masterpiece which brilliantly fuses the ancient with the modern, traditional murder ballads with rock and trip-hop production techniques.
I have purchased several other Garmarna CD's and believe this is their best so far...
Garmarna may add more fuel to the ongoing dialogues about authenticity in musical presentation with their latest endeavor, Hildegard von Bingen.
Garmarna's medieval hurdy-gurdy and traditional e-bow is mixed with guitars, strings, and a bit of housebeat.
In Garmarna's hands, we have use of the traditional Swedish violin and organ-like hurdy-gurdy, their approach is respectful rather than shallow and the arrangement works.
