| | Quote: | Valravn - Aymon Folk Festival (From "Liberation" newspaper)
La révélation venue du Danemark, Valravn mélangeant musique celtique traditionnel danois et électro enchanté. Ces vikings d’un nouveau genre s’inspirent de la forêt et du corbeau et s’appuient sur la voix planante de leur chanteuse Anna Katrin qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle de Bjork. |
Ill translate : "Revelation from Danmark, Valravn mix celtic music, trad. danish & electro. Those vikings from a new genre inspired by the forest and the raven & rely on their singer's voice which the one from Bjork.
edit : a blog from them : http://blog.valravn.net/#home

| The album name meaning "Codes on a leash" I believe. I love how snor means something totally differnet in Swedish.. "codes on snot" would be a strange album name  |

| They do call it Codes On Strings themselves, it's written on their homepage ;)
the album is pretty good, btw. I liked Valravn better, but it's still a pretty good one! |
