Børges Dance Convention - The Olsen Gang

Review by Keith Broadbent

The Olsen Gang, the latest album by Børges Dance Convention, is a delightful mix of traditional Scandinavian folk music and modern dance beats. The album features a variety of instruments, including accordion, fiddle, guitar, and drums, which are masterfully played by the talented musicians of the band.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy track "Olsen's Groove," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lively rhythm and playful melodies make it impossible not to tap your feet and dance along. The album also features slower, more contemplative tracks such as "Lullaby for Egon" and "Kjeld's Dream," which showcase the band's versatility and ability to create beautiful, emotive music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Benny's Blues," which features a soulful guitar solo and a bluesy melody that perfectly captures the character of the Olsen Gang's resident safe-cracker. Another highlight is "Yvonne's Waltz," a romantic and dreamy track that showcases the band's ability to create beautiful melodies with just a few simple chords.

Summary by Keith Broadbent

The Olsen Gang is a highly enjoyable album that seamlessly blends traditional Scandinavian folk music with modern dance beats. The musicianship is excellent, and the melodies are infectious and memorable. If you're a fan of folk music or dance music, this album is definitely worth checking out.
