Our Take

Norwegian accordion virtuoso Frode Haltli takes us on a whimsical journey through the Border Woods on his latest album. The album seamlessly blends traditional folk elements with avant-garde experimentation, creating a musical landscape that is both familiar and bizarre.

Haltli's accordion skills are on full display as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and harmonies throughout the album. His ability to evoke a wide range of emotions with just a few bellows and buttons is truly impressive. From the somber tones of "Misty Morning" to the frenetic energy of "Woodland Dance," Haltli proves himself to be a master storyteller through his music.

The intricate compositions on Border Woods showcase Haltli's deep understanding of both traditional folk music and contemporary experimental soundscapes. Each track is a miniature work of art, with layers of sound that reveal new nuances upon each listen.

Haltli is joined by an all-star cast of musicians who help bring his vision to life. The addition of strings, percussion, and electronics adds depth and texture to the music, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that is both haunting and exhilarating.

Border Woods is a truly unique listening experience that will appeal to fans of traditional folk music, avant-garde experimentation, and everything in between. Haltli's talent and creativity shine through on every track, making this album a must-listen for music lovers of all genres.
