Album: Triakel (1998)
Genre: Prog Folk (Contemporary/Acoustic/Swedish Folk) / Sweden
This is traditional Swedish music stripped down to its absolutely gorgeous acoustic roots. Featuring members of Hoven Droven and Garmarna's lead vocalist, these are musicians who live very much in the 21st century. The restrained approach and the loving touch they show here makes clear how much they respect the older musical traditions. There seems to be a plethora of overly-sentimentalized acoustic traditional music out there... one is well-advised to be on guard against this. Triakel play with passion and intensity as well as reverence, bringing this music to life. They are a fantastic band live, especially in intimate venues. Using only harmonium, violin and voice, Triakel creates a musical atmosphere of remarkable depth and texture. The melodies are hauntingly beautiful. Emma Hardelin's voice is magical and really flourishes in the intimate Triakel arrangements.
