Album Notes & Community Reviews
Often compared to the British electric folk of Fairport Convention, Folque's 'Kjempene p氓 Dovrefjell' brilliantly applies the folk-rock template to traditional Norwegian melodies. The album incorporates hardanger fiddles and driving progressive acoustic structures to vividly bring ancient Nordic myths and folklore to life.
