Our Take

NORDIC RAGA's self-titled debut album is a sonic journey like no other. Combining the traditional sounds of Nordic folk music with the hypnotic rhythms of Indian raga, this British English quartet has created a truly unique and captivating listening experience.

From the opening track "Fjord Funk" to the closing notes of "Raga Raindance," NORDIC RAGA showcases their impeccable musicianship and innovative songwriting. The fusion of fiddles and sitars, bodhráns and tablas, creates a mesmerizing blend of sound that is as enchanting as it is toe-tapping.

Lead singer Astrid Bjornsson's haunting vocals swirl through the melodies like a cool breeze over a fjord, while guitarist Sven Olafsson's intricate riffs transport listeners to a mystical realm where East meets West in perfect harmony.

Standout tracks include "Midnight Sun Melody," a haunting ballad that evokes the endless days of summer in the North, and "Sitar Saga," an epic instrumental that showcases the band's instrumental prowess.

NORDIC RAGA has crafted an album that is truly a genre-bending work of art. Whether you're a fan of folk music, world music, or just looking for something fresh and exciting to listen to, this album is sure to delight and inspire. So grab your reindeer-skin drum and join NORDIC RAGA on a musical journey unlike any other.
