The second album from Afenginn really establishes their sound.

Afenginn is listed in PA as avant-garde/RIO. Which they truly are. Their sound and music is a mix of Balkan, Finnish, Faroe Islands and Scandinavian folk music + jazz. That and a great deal of cheerful insanity. This is music to laugh and party at. The soundtrack for a night out in the midnight sun at a campfire while eaten by midges and drinking too much locally produced 80 % proof moonshine. So yes, this is party music and Afenginn has toured Scandinavia with this music. Let me add; with great success.

There are some interesting details in the music too which means it can be enjoyed in peace and quiet too. Played live, I may appreciate the music more though. Any chance for a live album, guys ?

The music here is good throughout without really firing me up to the great joys. My gripe with this album is the lack of some really signature, killer tracks. It kinds of get to the point when I find the music too familiar and not exciting enough. But this is still a good album, well worth checking out.

3 stars
