Sinikka Langeland: Wind and Sun

Accompanying herself with an Finnish stringed instrument the kantele, Sinikka Langeland creates dark folk folms with Mathias Eick/tp, Trygve seim/ts-ss, Mats Eilersten/b and Thomas Stronen/dr on this collection of folksy originals. Seim actually gets a bet Stan Getzy on the sof samba of “The Love”, while languid on “Wind and Sun”. Langeland’s voice is reminiscent of the icy Nico from The Velvet Underground, eerie on the American folkish “Wind Song”, bluesy on a rural “You Hear My Heart Come” and nor with the dramatic horns as Eick gasps along on the haunting “ Hands That Heal”. Eilersten leads into a dirge of “It Walks and Talks” and bows an intro to the misty pastures of “A Window Tells”. Grey overcast clouds.
