Kebnekajse - Idioten

Idioten (The Fool) - Kebnekajse unleash a new album in February 2011. Kebnekajse takes folk rock to new heights. Forty years after their debut, the Swedish 70's folk rock pioneers have gathered no moss. Two years after their acclaimed comeback, and proven by countless tours they now present what is perhaps their strongest recordings ever - "Idioten" (The Fool). On the new album Kebnekajse lets the folk music tone find new forms, free from any tightly held reins. "We wanted to give the folk music new feet. From the vast cannon of ancient Swedish folk songs we wanted to highlight songs that stand out, rare songs that leave room for improvisation and debauchery in the spirit of the psychedelic '70s. With these resolutions the band got into the studio (the same one used for the recording of the latest Dungen album btw) for three sessions of four days each, from May to September. The result was ten new tracks. It's unlimited music where intricate melodies and distinctive rhythms takes unexpected turns. Electrical. Eclectic. With Idioten (The Fool) Kebnekajse lifts Swedish folk rock to new heights and new psychedelic overtones.

A short biography for new listeners: During the 1970s Kebnekajse electrified the folk music scene and shrugged off the knee-tassel. They made six albums from their inception from 1971 to 1978, after which they split up. Kebnekajse reunited during  the summer of 2001 and in the early spring 2009 they released their critically acclaimed comeback album "Kebnekajse" with pure Swedish folk songs..
