More Info

Kaum beschreibbarer höchst seltsamer Experimental-Folk dieses schwedischen Projekts oder Band. Ein nostalgisches Flair wird verströmt, alles geschieht im low-fi Bereich, kleine Melodien tauchen wiederholend auf aber auch viele Geräusche, Stimmen, Radio, field recordings, wie Ereignisse aus vergangenen Zeiten... eine ganz besondere Platte mit ingesamt sehr ruhiger & melancholischer Ausstrahlung....

"Half lost images of landscapes and early memories, a haunting nostalgia. Heaths and shrubbery. Dull audio collages of creaking, dim ambiances coupled with folk sounds, foggy melodies and the humming of a graybeard organ. 12" LP, 32 minutes. Edition of 300 copies with full color insert and 7 postcards. The first 103 copies comes with an additional vintage (1900-1950) postcard." [label info]
"... Folk like electronics, like some of the music on Häpna (also Swedish, perhaps no surprise), but dwelling more on field recordings than say Tape. Going outside, the empty land in Sweden and recording the atmosphere, rather than a particular sound event. A bird flies over, but it was intended in capturing that particular sound. Then the radio comes in and leaves without a trace almost instantly. The guitar tinkles away, and there is a violin somewhere. Highly unfocussed this music, but that is surely not its aim. That might be to create a dense, atmospheric sound that oddly enough is also empty at the same time. Whereas the Norwegians have their noise, it seems like the Swedish have their folk tronics. Dusa is a rather fine example thereof." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
