Our Take

Helene Blum & Harald Haugaard Band's latest offering, "Den Store Sommer," is a delightful summer breeze of Danish folk music that transports you to a picturesque field of wildflowers, where the sun is shining and the birds are chirping. Blum's angelic vocals dance effortlessly with Haugaard's masterful fiddling, creating a harmonious blend that is both soothing and invigorating.

The album opens with the lively and infectious "Sommerfugl," a track that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the record. With its catchy melodies and foot-stomping rhythms, it's impossible not to feel the urge to get up and dance. Blum's voice floats above the music like a butterfly, while Haugaard's fiddle weaves beautiful tapestries of sound around her.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Violette" and "Havet" showcase the band's versatility and skill, with hauntingly beautiful ballads that tug at the heartstrings. Blum's emotive delivery conveys a sense of longing and yearning, while Haugaard's intricate arrangements provide a lush backdrop for her vocals to shine.

Overall, "Den Store Sommer" is a testament to the enduring power of traditional folk music. Blum and Haugaard have crafted a collection of songs that are both timeless and modern, staying true to their roots while pushing the boundaries of the genre. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is heartfelt, authentic, and oh-so-sweet.
