 : February 2010 : Unlikely - that seems to be the most suitable word to describe the circumstance that a record like the second of the Swedish duo LÖNNDOM is mentioned amongst the hectic noise usually presented in Legacy. "Viddernas Tolv Kapitel" is contemplative to the core and it invites you stay as well as to wander - but please, without any precipitance and without excessively human company. When I listen to the twelve songs, I remind myself again and again of the deep sigh of a (in terms of selling records) much more successful musician who told me a few years ago how enthusiastic he feels about leaving human dwellings and dangling his soul while enjoying angling or roaming around forests. LÖNNDOM has caught this certain craving and spirit with their unostentatious and sometimes even sparse odes to such a pleasurable and down-home extent, that it is a pure magnificence, provided that you belong to the folk still feeling thrilled about the colors of moss and bark, the creak underneath your walking shoes, the variation of the sunlight in the course of a day, the ripple of a brook and the often cited "small fortune at the wayside". LÖNNDOM recreates the scenery of its homeland with dark vocals and acoustic guitars: sometimes brusque, at times idyllic and in turn sublime, but always fascinating. (excerpt from my review for Legacy #65, thx to mw for translation) [btw: I managed to imagine LÖNNDOM also use a cello and wrote that in the original German review since listening to "I Vattnets Flöde" made me actually hear a cello in the background. It's your choice whether my ears or my mind go crazy or if it's due to the evilness of the poor folk from the Northern Swedish outback...] |

: October 2009 : It's time to announce something like a closing chapter of the past 1 1/2 decades - and a new start. I guess I can provide concrete information on a publication of its own in 2010. Although it has and will be silent around Trollmuisc, there will be a return of its own and some of you who followed our endeavours in the past might not be that surprised with what we - finally - come up... "Nothing will ever be forgotten." |
