Nordic Sound Channel #29 - Aevestaden

Long have I been enchanted by the music of Ævestaden. The way these captivating musicians utilize instruments typically associated with dark folk (such as the lyre and bukkehorn), but instead put it in a folktronica setting where it somehow just fits so organically is a feat within itself. Solen var bättre där was on my top 10 albums of 2023 not only because of this incredibly original use of familiar instruments, but also because the songwriting is on another level of melancholy - reaching out to the feeling of nostalgia and yearning for a better time in a way that only music could. So, join me in welcoming Kenneth, Eir, and Levina onto the Nordic Sound Channel for the first (and hopefully not the last) time as they bring us into their musical world.

Truly delightful interview and it's interesting to see, similar to your other guests, how relatable they are considering how skillful they are as musicians. Carefully crafted music that seeks to progress the genre but not in a trivial or compromising manner. I highly recommend they release, or re-record, the early songs about ingredients and call it 'What's Inside Milk'!
