"One of Sweden's most inventive folk bands."
Nordstjernan September 2016
"Jaerv is a fantastic group from western Sweden who constantly develops and broadens its musical base. The the vocal takes more and more space, and there is also a choir singing on a few tracks. It is neat, skillfully arranged, elegant and resilient with a cool version of the ballad Silibrand."
Spelmannen October 2016
"Five men strong Jaerv is a good example of the urge for Swedish folk music abroad. The group has recently returned from their third successful US tour, has toured Europe and has just finished their third album "Under den linden". Which becomes a powerful listening, with almost epic breadth of moods and expressions. Yes, the sense of musical drama, a coherent story that looks to both the old Swedish folk music as well as Finnish tradition and self-composed.
There are suggestive archaic song parts, for example in a polonaise from Småland, an intimate ballad with finely arranged acoustic guitars, Celtic sounding flute and compelling bowing. And the playing sometimes pulls on an exciting way to jazz and improvisation. All the time carefully and never too much. Jaerv stands out as a rare full-fledged folk group."
