Hans P. og Rasmus Kjorstad

On 23 July, Drag City will release ‘The Old Fabled River’, a collaboration between Alasdair Roberts and the Norwegian group Völvur…a melding of Celtic and Scandinavian intuitions of culture and music. Taken from the album, listen to the new album single Orison of Union and also watch Alasdair perform a solo rendition.

If you are new to Norwegian traditional music, this exquisite album is one of the most startling musical experiences you are ever likely to have. If not, then you will soon realise that the Kjorstad brothers are in the process of taking their country’s folk music in entirely new directions.
