 One image of Nordic music invokes a witches' Sabbath of rhythmic brutality accelerated into a devilish tornado, while another calls forth a sedate, almost geometrically classical string ensemble. Swedish septet Två Fisk och en Fläsk (Two Fish and One Bacon) delivers on both conceptions, with a heavy emphasis on the former. The three-man percussion section imparts more thunderous drive to this acoustic ensemble than could a dozen distorted electric guitars. Dual, and occasionally dueling, fiddlers play with a raw abandon, never flinching from dissonance, alternately produced in distanced reverb or middle-of-the-scull immediacy, while a single guitar holds things together with suspicious ease. The vocals of Umer Mossige-Norheim, fragile and falsetto, lacking the direct power of Garmarna's Emma Härdelin, seem at first a poor fit for such a dynamic combo, but ultimately serve through contrast. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
