Last week saw the release of Swedish progressive folk-rock-fusion band KAIPA’s new album Vittjar. Head to the following link to check out the video entitled “KAIPA: Vittjar – An Introduction To The Album“ – a collection of soundclips, pictures and videos from the recordings of Vittjar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMlmN7arS-c
The unique music of KAIPA constantly continues to evolve but no matter what direction it takes it always carries a profound breath from the innermost depths of the ancient Swedish primeval forest. This time they even use the Swedish language in the title track to further express and stress these close bonds with their mother country. Vittjar ultimately puts Kaipa outside the genre box. Or perhaps the album gives new and true meaning to the “progressive” stamp. It’s a label that Lundin has lived with for years, and he sees no reason to fight it even as Kaipa’s music continues to evolve.
