“Reverie is a ‘must have’ album”
Fiona Talkington, Songlines
When Norwegian/Swedish folk-rockers SVER took Womex 2018 by storm, many commentators marveled at the power and joie de vivre of the performance. A new discovery they may have been for some, yet they are no new kids on the block and had been steadily winning prominence playing extensively in Europe and the USA, to become regarded as one of the most dynamic bands to emerge from the Nordic folk scene.
This latest album – their fourth release – arrives as they celebrate 10 years together as a quintet. Listen to these musicians as they gel and swing together in a way that’s seldom encountered and you will understand why they have won a reputation as red hot performers whose shows are sizzling affairs. Previous releases have all been well received. Respected writer and World Music radio presenter Fiona Talkington, had described SVER as “one of the best live bands on the circuit.” This latest collection effortlessly captures the spirit of a band that both feels and spreads joy while touring or appearing on the big festival stage.
Reverie was recorded in Norway’s Hallibakken Lydstudio, and mixed/mastered by Mikael Lyander and Erik Ronström at Hedgehog Music, Sweden.
