Review by Tracey Brown

Höyt Over Fjellet by Söstrene Björklund Med Frank Ottersens Ensemble is a beautiful album that showcases the talents of the Norwegian folk group. The album features a range of traditional Norwegian songs, as well as original compositions by the group.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Sjugur og Sjugurin," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Throughout the album, the group's harmonies are spot-on, and their instrumentation is top-notch. The use of traditional Norwegian instruments, such as the Hardanger fiddle, adds to the authenticity of the album.

One standout track on the album is "Fjellvåk," which features haunting vocals and a beautiful melody. The group's rendition of the traditional song "Eg veit i himmerik ei borg" is also noteworthy, with the harmonies and instrumentation creating a sense of nostalgia and longing.
