"For those wondering where the flame of Hedningarna's pioneering, popular and certainly not time-expired meaty mix of traditional music, abrasive bowed strings, meaty percussion, samples and wild vocals might re-ignite in Nordic music, here - from Denmark this time - is Valravn. Faroese singer Anna Kratrin Egilstrød howls, cajoles and spits with a slightly Björk-like breathless gamine character to her voice, fiercely relishing the sounds of the several Nordic languages ... Based on traditional Danish, Faroese, Icelandic and Swedish material (...) it's a thing of wild-dark textures and, even in the more intimate moments, a feeling of relentless, pulsing forward movement ... An impressive band and a welcome development".
