This is the first recordings where Ale Möller, Lena Willemark and Per Gudmundson play together as the group Frifot. These musicians gather their force from their fruitful collaboration, as they are among the most colorful profiles of the younger folk music tradition in Sweden. In each of these musicians a true knowledge of tradition is combined with curiosity and lust for experiments. This has, throughout the years resulted in generous, intriguing and innovative music that never lets you doubt from where its roots are nourished. This debut album, from 1999, shows why they are among the flagship artists in the Swedish folk revival movement, melding traditional instruments like flutes, mandola, dulcimer, pipes, octave fiddle and fiddle with folk and jazz idioms. The trio turns in a less jazz-oriented work than their prior album Nordan. Instead, Frifot brings the folk aspects of the group’s vocals and fiddling to the forefront, particularly on songs like Abba Fader, Vindlaren and Om Stenen.
