Harpans Kraft - Harpans Kraft

Review by Marco Lonardi

Harpans Kraft's self-titled debut album is a captivating journey through the sounds of the harp, with a unique twist. The album features a blend of traditional Swedish folk music with modern influences, creating a fresh and innovative sound.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Vargtimmen," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The harp is used in a variety of ways throughout the album, from the driving rhythms of "Hjärtat" to the delicate melodies of "Fridens Lilja." The vocals, performed by Sofia Karlsson, are equally impressive, with her voice soaring above the instrumentation.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sista Dansen," a poignant ballad that showcases the emotional depth of the band's songwriting. The album also features a number of instrumental tracks, such as "Gånglåt från Älvdalen," which highlight the band's technical prowess.
