Over the last 30 years Swedish folk rockers Garmarna have meticulously created a unique style that today thrives triumphantly within the magical sonic realm of the seventh full length “Förbundet”.

“Ramunder” showcases a colorful palette as the traditional instruments effortlessly evoke a laid back folk mood that will evolve into a catchy rhythm with the intriguing blend of electronic accents and flawless violin harmonies. 

The atmospheric arrangements of “Sven i Rosengård” create a suspenseful mood around the solemn chants while the energetic drum beats and the darkened electro textures embrace a modern sonic flair. 

You can constantly feel a comforting sense of melancholia throughout “Ur världen att gå” as the mellow acoustic passages flow like a lovely daydream enriched by the enchanting violin melodies and the striking voice of Emma Härdelin. 

“Vägskäl” focuses on the whirlwind of gloomy feelings expressed by the graceful classical violin melodies and the heartfelt vocals that seem to float within a hypnotic atmosphere emphasized by the understated electronic tapestries. 

“Lussi Lilla” is surrounded by haunting atmospheric waves yet the subtle energy of the rhythmic passages create a delightful danceable mood that adds variety to the classic folk nuances of the refined violin phrases. 

 “Förbundet” embodies a cathartic listening experience that can make you feel relaxed or even compelled to join a spiritual journey as Garmarna masterfully craft an impeccable series of alluring soundscapes.
