Our Take

Alright, buckle up, folks, because we've got a wild ride on our hands with the Tormis Quartet's latest album, "Tormisele - Hommage To Veljo Tormis". This Estonian ensemble is bringing some serious heat with their tribute to the legendary composer Veljo Tormis, and let me tell you, it's a real treat for the ears.

From the moment the first note hits, you can feel the passion and dedication the quartet has poured into this project. The intricate harmonies, complex rhythms, and ethereal melodies all come together to create a hauntingly beautiful sonic landscape that will transport you to another world.

Each track on the album feels like a journey in itself, with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether it's the hypnotic chanting on "Nüüd ole, Jeesus, kiidetud" or the pulsating energy of "Koit", there's something here for every music lover to sink their teeth into.

But what really sets the Tormis Quartet apart is their fearless experimentation and willingness to push boundaries. They effortlessly blend traditional Estonian folk music with modern sensibilities, creating a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge.

In conclusion, "Tormisele - Hommage To Veljo Tormis" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and experience something truly special. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Tormis Quartet

Hailing from the frozen tundra of Estonia, the Tormis Quartet is a musical powerhouse that's as enigmatic as it is talented. Comprised of four virtuosic musicians with a penchant for blending traditional folk music with avant-garde sensibilities, this quartet is not your typical string ensemble. Lead violinist Kaisa Süld is a force to be reckoned with, her bow dancing across the strings with a ferocity that can only be described as otherworldly. Meanwhile, cellist Priit Sander brings a gravitas to the group, grounding their sound with his deep, resonant tones. The Tormis Quartet's eclectic repertoire includes everything from hauntingly beautiful ballads to raucous, foot-stomping jigs. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with each member bringing their own unique energy to the stage. It's no wonder they've garnered a cult following in their native Estonia and beyond. In a music industry saturated with cookie-cutter pop acts and bland indie bands, the Tormis Quartet stands out like a sore thumb. Their music is challenging, thought-provoking, and above all, incredibly fun. So if you're tired of the same old songs on the radio, do yourself a favour and give the Tormis Quartet a listen. Who knows, you might just discover your new favourite band.
