Groupa - Utan Sans

Review by Diego Cazar Baquero

Groupa's latest album, Utan Sans, is a stunning display of their mastery over traditional Swedish folk music. The band's unique sound is a blend of ancient and modern styles, with a focus on the traditional instrumentation of the nyckelharpa, flutes, and percussion.

The album opens with "Vind," a haunting piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The nyckelharpa's melancholic melody is accompanied by the gentle percussion, creating a sense of longing and nostalgia.

"Utan Sans," the title track, is a lively tune that showcases the band's virtuosity. The intricate interplay between the nyckelharpa and the flutes creates a dynamic and energetic sound that is sure to get listeners moving.

Other standout tracks include "Svänga," with its driving rhythm and catchy melody, and "Väv," a slower, more contemplative piece that showcases the band's skill at creating evocative atmospheres.
