Review by Jenny Whites

Den Nordiska Folkvisan Du Som Ar Allra Karasten Min – A Raw, Unfiltered Take Alright, let’s dive into this beast of an album. Den Nordiska Folkvisan Du Som Ar Allra Karasten Min by Lunds Vokalensemble is one of those records that doesn’t just sit there and play—it grabs you by the throat and demands your attention. Released in 2015 under their own label (props for keeping it indie), this Nordic folk masterpiece screams authenticity from start to finish. And yeah, Ingemar Månsson as the music director? Dude knows his stuff. Now, let me break it down for ya. This ain’t some polished pop nonsense or overproduced garbage—you’re getting raw vocals, haunting melodies, and a vibe so earthy you’ll feel like you’re knee-deep in Scandinavian soil. It’s not perfect, but who wants perfection anyway? That’d be boring as hell. Tracks That Hit Hard First up: “Karjalan Kunnailla.” Holy crap, this track slaps. The harmonies hit different—like, they don’t just sing; they live every damn word. There’s something about the way the voices intertwine, almost like they’re weaving stories right outta ancient forests. You can practically smell pine trees and hear echoes bouncing off mountains. Honestly, if I close my eyes while listening, I’m halfway convinced trolls are gonna show up and start hassling me. Love it. Then there’s “Ned I Vester Soli Glader.” This one sticks because it’s got guts. Not many tracks these days make you wanna grab a flagon of mead and march into battle, but this? Oh yeah. The rhythm builds slow at first, lulling you into a false sense of chill before BAM—it punches you in the soul. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re ready to conquer whatever life throws at ya. Or maybe just scream into the void. Either works. Why It Works (Mostly) The whole thing feels real. No auto-tune, no flashy gimmicks—just pure, unadulterated folk vibes. These guys aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they’re honoring tradition while still making it fresh. Sure, some tracks drag a bit (looking at you, “Tjuv Och Tjuv Det Ska Du Heta”), but even then, you can tell they poured their hearts into it. And props to Lunds Vokalensemble for sticking to their roots. In a world where everyone’s chasing trends, they doubled down on Nordic style and made something timeless. It’s refreshing AF. Final Thoughts So, would I recommend this album? Hell yes—but only if you’re ready for a ride. This isn’t background music; it’s front-and-center, demand-your-attention kind of stuff. If you’re into Nordic folklore, chills-down-your-spine harmonies, or just wanna sound smarter at parties, give this a spin. Oh, and here’s the kicker—I listened to this album during a thunderstorm. Coincidence? Maybe. But damn if it didn’t feel like Mother Nature herself was jamming along with me. Weird flex, but I’m sticking with it.
