The cocky, gas mask-loving Scandinavians have always seemed poised to make the leap to a major label, especially after racking up the awards for 2003's independently released Evig Pint, but the prospect of hearing their signature blend of pump organs, oil drums, and staccato guitar get the "big time" treatment initially put a scare into longtime fans. The sextet are about as far from conventional as one could imagine (Eastern European folk music filtered through an apocalyptic post-rock prism), so it comes as a bit of surprise that their third full-length recording bears the stamp of Universal Records.
The same band cooperated with Thåström (a classic 80s punk musician) and made the song about shared death called "Öppet Hav" ("Open Ocean") with a few beautiful lines like "We un-moor ourselves, we will reach our destination at the end - out on open sea" and "Will our memories remain if the waves take us? Never look back when out on the open ocean")ĮDIT: was drunk, messed up formatting, removed formatting added naked links.Anybody wondering what happened to Tom Waits after Franks Wild Years or Radiohead after OK Computer need look no further than Norway's Kaizers Orchestra. Then you have the folk-band Garmarna who usually makes kind of cheesy nordic folksongs but started doing odd co-ops with other artists like this song "Ta dig över alla gränser" ("Transgress all boundaries" OR "move over all (national) borders") since right wing idealist cultists really still think that they have some right to our past and ancestry they got really pissed about this song btw :D

Jaquee, a modern singer made a cover of the song (sadly the only link is from this shit old-person TV show) (upshot, having a Black Swede singing a classic song got the racists heart attacks so - great cover + heart attacked racists = win) Then the more modern band Wintergatan, formed out of Detektivbyrån, who made a cover of the same song Lets get with classic jazz and Jan Johansson who was a classically trained musician playing jazz renditions of old folk songs, in this case "Visa från Utanmyra". May I ask: what about Vechyaslav Butusov tells you he doesn't deserve much respect now? The cover is a fairly precise translation, though with a handful of liberties taken to ensure it works in the language.Īnd their front man does not deserve much respect now It's a German rock cover of a traditional Ukrainian folk song, Ти ж мене підманула (You Lied to Me). There's also this track, by Die Magdalene Keibel Combo: an Eastern German band from which two members went on to form Rammstein. You can hear, in the first few seconds of the clip, what the original sounded like. While not a local band, it's an Italian band covering a classic Soviet track: Zvenit Yanvarskaya Viuga, by Vanilla Sky, sung in Russian. There's the rock band Gorky Park and their (well-known in Russia) Moscow Calling. Some of the tracks of theirs I like a lot are: The one track I'm familiar with is Бери своє (Take Yours). I'm surprising myself by finding out that there's very few bands I could recommend from Russia, but a few from Ukraine.
