Our Take

SKALD's latest offering, "Huldufolkin British English," is a sonic journey through the whimsical world of Nordic folk music, infused with a British twist that leaves listeners both bewildered and enchanted. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Aurora Borealis Boogie," which sets the tone for the rest of the album's ethereal vibes.

Lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Sigurd Bjornsson, showcases his musical prowess throughout the album, seamlessly blending traditional Nordic folk melodies with modern British influences. His mesmerizing vocals float effortlessly over intricate arrangements of fiddles, flutes, and mandolins, creating a sound that is both ancient and contemporary.

Standout tracks like "Troll Dance Party" and "Tea Time with the Elves" transport listeners to a mystical realm where mythical creatures roam free and magic is always just around the corner. The album's production is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in perfect harmony, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both cinematic and intimate.

However, while "Huldufolkin British English" is undeniably a unique and captivating listening experience, it may not be for everyone. The album's esoteric subject matter and off-kilter melodies could potentially alienate more mainstream listeners. But for those willing to take a chance on something truly out of the ordinary, SKALD's latest offering is a delightful and enchanting musical journey that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
