Rimfaxe 2006

We proudly present the fourth album from Gjallarhorn!

The theme of this CD is the magic horse that frequently appears in Nordic mythology. The album features some surprising sounds and a deep bass boost from the recently introduced sub contrabass recorder. Although this is the group's most ambient, modern, and rhythmically varied album yet, it remains deeply rooted in the Nordic vocal tradition. Instrumentalists as multi-talented as the members of Gjallarhorn are able to create astonishing soundscapes within the radically different conditions afforded by live and studio performance.

The CD was mixed in the US by legendary sound engineer Bruce Swedien. Multiple Grammy-awarded Swedien is known for the Michael Jackson albums and for his work with artists like Quincy Jones, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and recently Jennifer Lopez.
