Two music-shares in one week? Well, why not! ☆

[yuuago]

☆ Well, I was talking with noyadespate, and mentioned I was trying to learn to sing a Norwegian song, but was having difficulty because it's so fast. Eventually this lead to me uploading an album by that band for him, and I decided to share it with y'all too.

☆ I've been listening to Folque's music for a good while now, and I'm absolutely in love with it. I've always had a thing for folk-rock and this stuff is just plain pretty. Plus, fiddles. Hot damn do I ever love fiddle music.

☆ So, their self-titled album is uploaded here. I've listened to some of their other albums, but the self-titled is, I think, the best. (Oh, and to give a listen before downloading, the song by Folque that I was trying to learn is on youtube here: "Reven og Bjørnen")

☆ By the way, if anyone has recs of other bands that are similar, I'd love to hear it. Language and origin don't matter, as long as it's folk-rock (especially if it's a style that's more folk than rock). And if there is a whole load of fiddling in it I will love you forever.

☆ A proper entry will follow in a few days, I swear. I've just been, uh, busy! Yes, that's it!

ooh, I really like the sample you posted, so I'll take it--thanks for uploading!

as for similar bands...you might like Katzenjammer (http://www.last.fm/music/Katzenjammer), who are similarly Norwegian and folky and catchy, although they sing in English. I have "Le Pop", if you'd like me to upload it.





even though it huuuuuuuuuurts

HOLY SHIT. A WILD MORPHEME APPEARED.

I was going to say "That sounds familiar" but then I realized that I downloaded that album by that band but never got around to listening to it. WTF, man. Just. WTF.
