Noregs Vaapen

At first I thought this album was a bit overproduced/polished but as the songs went by and I realized how good this album really was, I realized that part of what makes this album so good is the production. It kicks ass. You will always find lo-fi more grittier sounding albums out there, so that is not a problem. And that banjo part just makes me smile every time, and still it doesn’t become anywhere near silly or ridiculous, it actually is some of the coolest things I’ve heard. Taake knows how to have fun as well, something that I welcome with open arms in a genre that sometimes becomes a bit too serious perhaps…I really like Taake, and although I think all their albums are great, I think this one is so cool because it has this clear punchy production that allows the music to really hit you in the face and kick ass B-)
