Vera Vinter & Hanna Ekström - Lios (2022) [Hi-Res]

There’s a fair amount of pedigree behind this fascinating release. Hanna Ekström is one of Sweden’s foremost violinists, having previously collaborated with First Aid Kit, Miriam Bryant and Håkan Hellström, among others. Guitarist and songwriter Vera Vinter is well-established as a crafter of polished modern folk with a distinctive sound. Here, the duo sings in the Kalix dialect, a vernacular spoken only by people in the Kalix River Valley area of Norrbotten, mixing field recordings and electronics with acoustic instruments and vocals.
