Swedish poet and dark folk artist Erik Gärdefors returns with Grift’s new EP “Vilsna Andars Boning” to captivate the audience with a dreamy folk influenced work of music.
It feels like winter on “Bartom Berget”, a truly melancholic hymn that focuses on minimalist poetic acoustic passages enhanced by the genuine emotional yet quite solemn vocal delivery leading to a relaxing and highly contemplative music experience.
“Dåranas Massiv” amplifies the folk roots of Grift as the gloomy melancholy embedded in the lovely arpeggios will evolve into archaic soundscapes through a smooth acoustic crescendo filled with harmonious feelings of desolation and introspective vocals.
The two songs included on the EP “Vilsna Andars Boning” are significantly stripped-down to depict the bare beauty of nature as Grift skillfully evokes haunting atmospheres that do not need special effects to be memorable.
