Our Take

Skadedyr's latest offering, "Kongekrabbe," is a musical feast fit for a king - or in this case, a king crab. This Norwegian avant-garde ensemble takes listeners on a sonic journey through a whimsical wonderland of sound, blending jazz, folk, and classical influences with a healthy dose of quirkiness.

From the opening track, "Krabbegjengen," it's clear that Skadedyr are not afraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. The unconventional instrumentation, including saxophones, clarinets, and even a cowbell, creates a cacophony of delightfully bizarre sounds that manage to somehow coalesce into a cohesive whole.

Tracks like "Krabbelek" and "Kongekrabbe" showcase the band's playful, experimental nature, with meandering melodies and unexpected tempo changes keeping the listener on their toes. The musicianship on display is truly impressive, with each member of the ensemble bringing their own unique flair to the table.

One of the standout moments on the album is the hauntingly beautiful "Krabbeøye," a mesmerizing track that showcases the band's ability to create atmosphere and emotion with their music. The delicate interplay between the various instruments is truly spellbinding, making for a captivating listening experience.

Overall, "Kongekrabbe" is a delightful romp through the wild and wacky world of Skadedyr. With its infectious energy and boundless creativity, this album is sure to please fans of experimental music looking for something a little out of the ordinary. So grab your crab claws and dive into this musical treasure - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Skadedyr

SKADEDYR – The Eccentric Norwegian Ensemble Redefining Jazz Fusion Hailing from the far reaches of Norway, SKADEDYR is a musical force to be reckoned with. This eclectic ensemble, led by the formidable pair of Anja Lauvdal and Heida Mobeck, has been making waves in the international music scene with their unique blend of jazz, folk, and experimental sounds. With an impressive roster of musicians including brass, strings, and even a choir, SKADEDYR's live performances are a sight to behold. Their ability to seamlessly blend traditional Norwegian folk melodies with avant-garde jazz improvisation is truly a sight – or rather, a sound – to behold. Their latest album, 'Musikk!', is a tour de force of genre-bending experimentation. From the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Sjokk" to the frenetic energy of "Pollen," SKADEDYR keeps listeners on their toes with their unpredictable sonic adventures. But don't let their avant-garde tendencies fool you – SKADEDYR is just as comfortable laying down a killer groove as they are exploring the outer limits of musical expression. Tracks like "Royskatt" and "Skarntyde" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks without sacrificing their boundary-pushing spirit. So, if you're looking for a musical experience that's equal parts thought-provoking and toe-tapping, look no further than SKADEDYR. These Norwegian mavericks are redefining what it means to blend genres and push musical boundaries – and they're doing it with style, flair, and a healthy dose of Nordic charm.
