Listen to "Who Will Weave The Reins?"
"...pure "postmodern folklore" by the group Ilgi. Steeped in tradition, these performers
also are no strangers to rock; along with traditional Latvian instruments, you will hear
percussion, guitars, accordions, electric bass and youthful sensibilities in touch with
both the 15th and 21st centuries... Ilgi's distinct Latvian verses offer linguistic rhythms and punctuation that perfectly complement the accompanying
instruments, whether the traditional bagpipe or the backbeat of bass guitar and trap drums. One could
reach and compare the sound to other familiar European folk-rock bands but that would shortchange
this well-executed album." - Dick Dorsett, RootsWorld
"There's also a real joy to the music making, along with the scholarship, a sense of freedom
that pervades the old songs and pushes them out to give a rushing, contemporary feel." - Chris Nickson (You can also read Chris' interview with the band at GlobalVillageIdiot)
