Our Take

In a music industry oversaturated with cookie-cutter albums, Gunnar Idenstam and Ola Stinnerbom's "A Saami Requiem" stands out like a sore thumb. But in a good way, like accidentally stumbling upon a hidden gem at a thrift store.

The duo's collaboration is a whimsical journey through the vast landscapes of Saami culture, blending traditional Saami joik with contemporary instrumentation in a way that is as unexpected as it is captivating. Idenstam's mesmerising organ playing and Stinnerbom's ethereal fiddle work come together in a hauntingly beautiful fusion that defies categorisation.

Tracks like "Northern Lights Lament" and "Shaman's Dance" transport listeners to a place of ancestral reverence and spiritual contemplation. It's as if you're wandering through a mystical forest at twilight, surrounded by the whispers of ancient spirits and the gentle rustling of reindeer grazing nearby.

While some may find the avant-garde nature of the album challenging, those willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with a sonic experience that is both enlightening and enchanting. "A Saami Requiem" is a bold statement from two visionary artists who dare to push the boundaries of tradition and create something truly extraordinary.

So, grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported to a world where the past and present collide in a mesmerising dance of sound and emotion. Trust us, you won't regret it.
