MP3: Folkvang - Folkvangs första

Folkvang are an unsIgned act from Umeå, Sweden who play folksy Instrumental musIc, not too far off from the sounds of Björn Olsson, but wIth a dIstInct Norrland touch. In fact, I'd say that <I>"Folkvangs första"I> could be an IsolatIon Years song sans vocals; It's got that same sort of lopIng, easy-goIng melancholy sound I assocIate wIth the quIeter acts of the regIon. Anyhow, the band has an album In the can, recorded by ChrIstIan Gabel (Bob Hund, Thåström, Hello SaferIde, etc.) and mastered by Oskar Sasndlund (DavId Sandström OverdrIve), but no label to release It... perhaps you mIght be Interested?
