Triakel
WinterSongs (Northside)
$14.99
A winter holiday in Sweden with members of Garmarna, Hoven Droven & ABBA. Triakel make small-scale music with strong stories. Their sound has three simple parts: the exquisite voice of Garmarna's Emma Härdelin, the fiddle of Hoven Droven's Kjell-Erik Eriksson, and the harmonium (pump organ) from Janne Strömstedt. This is quiet, thoughtful acoustic music. In 1999, Benny Andersson (former ABBA member) asked Emma to sing a hymn he'd written for the approaching millennium. That session soon expanded into this full-length collection of songs about wintertime events. The band say it is "...an alternative to a typical Christmas album, but still with a strong, recognizable smell of Swedish Christmas."

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.
