A debut, digital-only EP from a Danish trio, led by one of the Nordic folk scene’s outstanding and experienced vocalists, Mia Guldhammer. Five tracks, with the musicians bringing their own perspectives to mostly traditional music. There’s a lovely ancient, creaky mood throughout.

The opener, “Svennedal,” with its rough, cantering rhythm, offers a perfect shop window for Guldhammer’s impressive, persuasive voice, while jaw harp and bagpipes bring an insistent propulsion to “Nordgård,” the only original here, by band member Morten Musicus.

Cimbalom adds a delicate backdrop to the traditional “Agnete Of Bjergmanden,” with Guldhammer’s soft jaw harp offering extra textures to the other instruments, as it brings a springy opening to the final cut, “Ormsø,” mingling with flute and strings to create something quite thrilling and off kilter on this instrumental.

Five tracks, and an introduction to a band that already seems very mature and accomplished. A strong beginning – what will GuldGanger do with an entire album?
