Spælimenninir Í Hoydølum - Spælimenninir Í Hoydølum

Review by Alejandro Artés

Spælimenninir Í Hoydølum, a traditional folk music band from the Faroe Islands, has recently released their latest album, Spælimenninir Í Hoydølum. The album features a collection of traditional Faroese songs, played with an authentic and heartfelt sound that captures the essence of the island's rich musical heritage.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat tune "Føroyska Dansurin," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through a variety of traditional Faroese songs, including haunting ballads like "Eg Veit Eitt Fagurt Land" and lively dance tunes like "Fjallavísur."

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship shines through, with each member contributing their own unique sound to the mix. The fiddle, accordion, guitar, and bass all come together to create a rich and dynamic sound that is both traditional and modern.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Hvør stóð í Fjøruni," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a sense of atmosphere and emotion through their music. The song builds slowly, with the fiddle and accordion weaving together to create a sense of tension and longing.
