Instinkt
Hur
$16.99
New-folk music ensemble from Denmark edges towards rock without ever crossing the line into pure pop. Heavy on the fiddles, with a generous supply of hurdy-gurdy, flutes, and viola, and backed up with a rock-solid rhythm section, this is primarily an instrumental recording, supported by the occasional fine vocal.

The record label says:
All of INSTINKT's members have a common love for Nordic folk music, which forms the jumping off point for the band's original compositions. The development of the music is characterised by a combination of their openness and their love of playing - ideas are allowed to run free and musical instincts are encouraged to thrive.
On "HUR", INSTINKT cover all their musical corners: there are light buoyant tunes built onto deep heavy grooves, beautiful labyrinth soundscapes, expressive and wordless voices melded together with Danish lyrics, and thick modal harmonies anchored by mystical drones. A multi-coloured experience, sparkling with humour, intimacy, energy and an infectious love of playing. HUR!!!
INSTINKT made their debut performance at the Frederiksund Folk Festival in August 2000.
The festival organisers counted on the group before it was even formed, but the 5 musicians rose to the challenge. After an explosive debut concert, INSTINKT developed into a unique band with a versatile and highly individual sound.

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.
