New album from Afenginn. Akrobakkus!

In the dark uniform western hemisphere, where rationality and stress seems to be the new religion, a small distant light is now appearing.
Deeply rooted in the faith and tradition of sincere musical virtuosity and sheer madness, the new release from the acrobatic Danish deviates Afenginn, must challenge the stagnate state of every part-time depressed citizen of modern society.
In a challenging unpretentious head-on collision with the conformity of well polished musical mainstream, this one-of-a-kind polyethnic contrastic Balkan-Scandinavian music blend will make every honest delirium-connoisseur go into ruptures. The music is best defined as Bela Bartok drinking schnappses of melancholic nordic klezmer with Mike Patton. This new and second release, Akrobakkus, will make you twitch,twist and tangle all the way through the night…

"No one can be unaffected by a meeting with Afenginn. Some may run away like holwing wolves, but those who still got a little elixir of life left running in your veins, will somehow get reneved strength. Try it yourself." (Folk og Musik, 2006)
