– At the end of the day, you know, our music is pretty uncomplicated. In fact this is probably the most accessible music there is, vocalist Ragnar says. This is ancient music that affects us and connects us to the world and our heritage. This is subversive music doing what it has always done best. Transgressing borders, rules and conceptions. And of course, making us dance along the way.
