Garmarna

Garmarna is a Swedish folk rock band that has been fusing traditional Nordic music with modern sounds since their inception in the early 1990s. The group harnesses a multitude of influences, from folk to medieval melodies, and blends them with contemporary genres, creating a distinctive sound that has garnered a dedicated following over the years. Garmarna's music often incorporates the use of old Scandinavian instruments, electronic beats, and evocative vocals, which resonates with an air of ancient folklore brought into the present day.

With a career spanning over three decades, Garmarna has continually evolved while staying true to their roots. Their album "Förbundet," a recent release, showcases their maturity in blending the ethereal with the earthly, often drawing inspiration from historical and literary sources. The single "Två Systrar" exemplifies this, weaving a haunting narrative that is emblematic of their storytelling prowess. The band has also demonstrated versatility, evident in tracks such as "Kashmir," which is a nod to their ability to revamp classic rock in their unique style. Their collaboration with prominent artists like Thåström in "Öppet hav" and Maxida Märak in "Över gränsen" showcases Garmarna’s trend of cross-genre and innovative partnerships. This collaborative spirit, along with the band's exploration of the works of Hildegard von Bingen, underlines their continued relevance and the evergreen nature of their music in a constantly changing musical landscape.
