Rya! – “Blåstång”
This song is an otherworldly, but inviting, slice of jazzy Swedish folk pop. A beautiful woman’s voice delivers Swedish lyrics (which may as well be Martian to my monolingual ass), surrounded by an arrangement of drums, double bass, sax, violin, tuba, piano, occasional electronic elements and and Härjedalspipa (a Swedish folk flute) playing a jaunty and inviting tune.
