Kurbeats AKA Yggdrasil (Andreas Lingbrand and Mathias Eriksson) and Event Horizon present Folktronica, the mutant child of Scandinavian folk music and electronica. With this release the duo continues the story that began with Prose Edda, Yggdrasil’s debut album, only this is the true beginning—giving you what Prose Edda merely hinted at. This album sets out to discover a new path, blending acoustic instruments and joik (a traditional Sami style of song) captured in the Kurbeats studio with digitally rendered soundscapes created by Andreas and Mathias. Backed by Scandinavian tradition and with their roots deep within the electronic music scene this album, Kurbeats takes you on a journey from a shaman’s tent through the cosmos and back into the heart. Hold on to your seats, here we go!
