Garmarna's visionary folk sounds marry the past to the present on their captivating new album Förbundet. Förbundet (Swedish for connected) is an apt title as their songs, inspired by traditional Swedish folk music and Scandinavian ballads, are played by acoustic instruments but accented by modern electronics. Aided by the production of Christopher Juul (Heilung), it sees the Grammis (Swedish Grammy) winning group further secure their legacy as one of the worldwide leaders of traditional Scandinavian folk music.
