Today’s ASMW post is from far away places and you’ll soon wonder why I even chose it. The nordic stylings of Adjágas are somewhere between chanting and plain jibberish, but they will hold you entranced none the less. (I found that its best to list to at a very low volume).
“Combining the strange beauty of Scandinavian music with the sounds of American folk, Adjágas are exposing yoik music to an international audience. Yoik is characterized by hypnotic, repetitive chanting, and has seen little mainstream production or distribution. For their self-titled debut, Adjágas enlisted the help of Jaga Jazzist producer Andreas Mjøs, who adds subtle texture and emphasizes their hauntingly melodic voices. Critics have drawn breathless comparisons to an acoustic Sigur Rós, calling the album “a thing of rare beauty… [with] a naked intimacy that stays with the listener long after the last chord has rung out” (Music Week).”
In fact, I’ve found that its a good way to mask the sound of the sales weasles who surround your workspace with the noise of endless sales calls…
