From Iceland — Nix Noltes Orkidpur Hawaii

Published August 5, 2005

We got an early review copy of the debut release from a favourite live band the Nix Noltes. As best we can gather, Nix Noltes deliver frenetic Balkan music that mixes the ABBA song structure prevalent in fiddle music from around the world with unique time signatures. Live, this music is extraordinary. And this album replicates a live experience as best as we’ve ever heard. The slight trick is that if you’re not dancing, the song structure can be a little draining.
