Alasdair Roberts and Völvur’s “The Old Fabled River” is full of subtle mirrors, the dualism and continuity of life, pairs and opposites…a satisfyingly literary accomplishment, but also humane and wild and as vividly detailed as we’ve come to expect from anything Roberts is involved in.
Taken from Alasdair Roberts and Völvur’s collaborative album “The Old Fabled River”, watch Völvur’s solo rendition of their arrangement of “Nu solen går ned”, a Norwegian spiritual and an ancient traditional melody.
Our Song of the Day is “The Green Chapel”, the first single from ‘The Old Fabled River’, the forthcoming new album from Alasdair Roberts og Völvur, the initiative of Norweigian fiddler Hans Kjorstad which features five additional Scandinavian musicians.
