Lumsk--Det Vilde Kor

The norwegians Lumsk, are one of the bands that figure on my playlist. And recently they released a new album called « Det Vilde Kor». So I’m going to profit a and talk about their latest album. Since their beginning, Lumsk have made a progressive passage from a metal sound with some folk influences to a style that mixes folk, progressive rock, and now and then some metal.

Although this change, they made it with the elegance of their discs, as for example the latest one «Troll». «Det Vilde Kor»is a special project, where the seven musicians from Trondheim, play a collection of poems with the same name of the album, written by the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun. In addition to Knut poems, they added folk melodies and some progressive waves.

This new album can be separated in three different parts. The first part (and the most interesting in my opinion) is built and strengthen by four initial songs, where the melancholic power of the poems takes over the music. The violins of Siv Lena Laugtug and the voice of the singer Stine Mari Langstrand evoke the beautiful and sterile landscapes of Norway, and they create in listener emotions, due to the force of the songs.

Then we have the second part that is more progressive and we notice that on songs, «Lad Spille Med Var Over Jorden», «Duttens», being the last song of the second part «Sven Herlufesens Ord».

The last part gains an environment of a cabaret and this by loosing the pop/folk sonority morphing to a jazz/metal sonority, which runs after us and nails our attention till the end of the album!

This work from Lumsk is with no doubt a great example of the folk music, that is emerging.

If you got curious buy their new album, our just tell me something.

LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS

For those of you going on Friday 11th : Please be there at 9 pm.

A small map to help you :

Our Next Play will be LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS!OPENING APRIL 20th!!Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 9.30 pm. Matinée at 4pm on Sunday April 22nd

We are celebrating TWO ANNIVERSARIES:

HENRY FIELDING, 300 YEARS 1707 - 2007

THE LISBON PLAYERS, 60 YEARS 1947 - 2007

To celebrate this double anniversary the Lisbon Players is presenting the great comic musical LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS based on Henry Fielding’s 1730 play RAPE UPON RAPE. Lock Up Your Daughters is a reworking of his 1730 play Rape Upon Rape as a musical with lyrics by Lionel Bart and music by Laurie Johnson. It is a harmonious clash of periods: the early 18th century meets the late 1950s – minuets to the rhythm of the cha-cha-cha!The Lisbon Players production is brought to you by the same team that produced the highly successful production of Cabaret last year – directed and choreographed by Keith Esher Davis and produced and designed by Jonathan Weightman. The cast includes a number of talented new performers. Musical direction is by Luís Filipe Almeida and Ana Jacobetty and costumes by Vivi Silveira.
