Review by Carlos Rohrer

Öppna Vattendrag by Arv & Miljö is a captivating album that showcases the duo's unique blend of traditional Swedish folk music and contemporary soundscapes. The album features a wide range of instruments, including the nyckelharpa, accordion, guitar, and percussion, all of which are expertly played by the duo.

The album opens with the title track, "Öppna Vattendrag," a hauntingly beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Each track on the album is a journey through the Swedish countryside, with the duo's music painting vivid pictures of rolling hills, shimmering lakes, and dense forests.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Frostnatt," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the duo's skill at creating atmospheric soundscapes. The track combines the sounds of the nyckelharpa and accordion with electronic beats, creating a mesmerizing blend of old and new.

Another standout track is "Sjömansvisa," a traditional Swedish folk song that the duo has reinterpreted in their own unique style. The track features beautiful vocal harmonies, and the duo's use of the nyckelharpa and accordion gives the song a haunting, otherworldly quality.
