The guitar interplay and changing vocal leads give the songs a clear identity; the comic story songs make the set lively, though its sequence is not a tightly built arc.

What we noticed

  • The arrangements put four acoustic guitars in the foreground, with interlocking picking and strumming carrying much of the pulse instead of a prominent rhythm section.
  • Lead vocals pass among the four players, so the sound shifts from song to song rather than settling around one frontman.
  • The tracklist moves from the rainy fishing-song opener through comic character pieces such as “Gammal Amazon” and “Anna på Gran Canaria” to “Kjærlighet og fred.”

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
