This album is the follow-up to Ranarim's much acclaimed first CD from 2000. Their first CD was also released in the US and Japan, and was followed by tours around the world. Now they have gathered to make a new album, where they have added two more instrumentalists to the former quartet: Anders Larsson, double bass and Sebastian Notini, percussion. The four other members are still the same: Ulrika Bodén and Sofia Sandén, vocals, Niklas Roswall, nyckelharpa and Jens Engelbrecht, guitar and mandola. Their music is still based on old songs in modern arrangements, which paint a vivid, dramatic world full of excitement, love and enchantment. |
