"Old meets new" is a fitting and, admittedly, overused characterisation of folktronica band Valravn, who blend electronic sounds with ancient Nordic music by means of old instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy and the Jew's harp. Thus, they are part of the same tradition as for instance Sorten Muld, but they have their own distinctive intensity spawned by beauty, poetry, ferocity and appetite for experiments.
