Stand Out

Eiwor Kjellberg is a national fiddler from Järvsö, Sweden, and her 3rd album, "Stand Out", is music from Hälsingland's bluest forests and deepest ponds, dense masculine interplay, dancing sweaty and with a nerve of fine fragility so the neck hair slowly rises. Eiwor Kjellberg's 3rd album with her own music is a musical meeting between fantastic musicians who really dare to take the turns.

In Markus Räsänen's arrangement of "Song For Dacha" we are taken on a dizzying journey through Ukraine and in some parts the vast landscape can really be seen. In Ian Carr's arrangement of "Cykelhandlarens Dotter", it feels like we are on a bike ride where the bike finally gets wings. In Emil Skogh's scars of "Polarpolskan", attitude is the word. In "Maya & Siggi Brudpolska" the great love glows, so incredibly heartfelt and with a magical interplay.

Fiddler, composer, visionary, educator, inspirer, the list can be made long. Eiwor Kjellberg is one of Sweden's most productive bearers of tradition and for many young people a well known children music author, and a folk music mother. We are invited to stories about freedom, friends and meetings. Streaks of sadness, joy and not least reflections on a lost seal or a meeting with a loving dog. It is about a, to a very high degree, contemporary and very lively folk music tradition.
