Väsen
Vilda Väsen
$17.99

The second CD from this Swedish trio, released in 1992, sealed the fate of the new Nordic folk music revolution. Their energetic, often agressive sound was starting to build a reputation for the band as almost the "punk" movement of Swedish folk, and their young audiences were giving them a rock-star welcome at concerts in Sweden.
Like their first album, "Vilda Väsen" contains mostly tunes that Olov learnt from his teachers Curt Tallroth and Eric Sahlström, but also some recently composed tunes which have already become part of the repetroire among other Swedish musicians.

"A grumpy sound and excellent plaing by a trio of musicians who think for themselves" - Gunnar Ternhag, Svenska Dagbladet
"On a heavy and tipsy drone, Väsen create a brittle piece of craftsmanship. They play like well-mannered braggarts, both rough and polished at the same time." - Klas Gustafsson, Dagens Nyheter "Väsen stands for folk music that you can feel in your spine." - Tore Ljungberg, Göteborgs-Posten

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
