Ulvsand & Hjetland

Ulvsand & Hjetland

Ulvsand & Hjetland

Plenty of plucked strings here – autoharp, ukulele and bouzouki – and vocals on this debut from the pair. It’s a very spare collection, with the light, judicious use of loops to fill things out here and here. Ulvsand is a wonderful bouzouki player, eloquent with his instrument, while Hjetland’s lovely voice works ideally with his. The closer, “Ajo,” is a joy, oddly reminiscent of a ‘70s Joni Mitchell songs, layers of vocals, and the uke with bouzouki. Gorgeous.
