Kebnekajse takes folk rock to new heights. Forty years after their debut, the Swedish 70's folk rock pioneers have gathered no moss. Two years after their acclaimed comeback, and proven by countless tours they now present what is perhaps their strongest recordings ever - "The Fool". On the new album "The Idiot" Kebnekajse widens views and lets the folk music tone find new forms, free from any tightly held reins. "We wanted to give the folk music new feet. From the vast cannon of ancient Swedish folk songs we wanted to highlight songs that stand out, rare songs that leave room for improvisation and debauchery in the spirit of the psychedelic '70s. With these resolutions the band got into the studio (the same one used for the recording of the latest Dungen album btw) for three sessions of four days each, from May to September. The result was ten new tracks. It’s unlimited music where intricate melodies and distinctive rhythms takes unexpected turns. Electrical. Eclectic. While unified in a dynamic drive. Kebnekajse has deepened the interplay in the last years of touring.

The highest band in Sweden flies again – Kebnekajse have releases a new album! They have been extremely influential and their sound can be hard echoing in most Swedish psych/prog bands.There’s a rumble in the mountain, the forest swings and sings, the wind grabs tones that meanders high up amongst the clouds. It is time for the troll-dance again. They may be the highest mountain in Sweden but they are known as the highest band in the land. They were pioneers with their instrumental, electrified Swedish folk (fiddler) music. When they unleash their heavy version of Horgalåten at a festival the ring dancing spins around so that the hippie-hair flutter and the knee-tassle starts smoking. Kebnekajse, with Kenny Håkansson, Göran Lagerberg, Mats Glenngård, Thomas Netzler, Hassan Bah and Pelle Ekman, are back on stage and record. Six men loaded with eight new songs recorded in the woods , in the legendary Silence Studio with Anders Lind and Reine Fiske (lead guitaris in Dungen) behind the controls, and mixed in the city; amazing electric folk-rock with psychedelic overtones.
