Sånger från 63° N
Sånger från 63° N (Songs from 63° N) is the name of the third album by the Swedish folk band Triakel. It was released on 23 June 2004 on Amigo Records.[1] The songs are mostly traditional Swedish folk songs from the province of Jämtland, though some are recent compositions.[2] The text of I Jamtlann (Jämtland) is in a Jämtland dialect. The rest of the songs are in Swedish.[3]
Reception
AllMusic noted the "chemistry between the [band's] members" and wrote that singer Emma Härdelin was best when presenting tragic songs.[2] Also the reviewer for Helsingborgs Dagblad wrote that Triakel benefitted from the cooperation between the instrumental musicians and Härdelin's vocal performance.[1]
