Review

Bukkene Bruse, alone and in creative interaction, creates new Norwegian folk music, yet traditional, with the album ''Spel''. This likable traditional folk band comes up with a live recording of their most famous songs. All in new arrangements together with new material. The sound is good, and in addition the musicians are performing some solo tunes in a convincing manner. This time they also performe with the Norwegian string quartet Vertavo, that gives the album an extra energy.
