Gåte are a band from Norway that plays an alternative form of folk music and this is a review of their 2021 album "Nord" which was released by Indie Recordings.
Folk instruments and percussion start off the album while also bringing in a dark ages orientated atmosphere. Vocals are all done in a clean style along with some organs also being utilized at times as well as the stringed instruments also being a very huge part of the recording and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
When acoustic guitars are utilized they also enhance the folk music vibe that is also a very huge part of the recording. Spoken word parts are also added on some of the tracks along with each song also sounding very different from each other and the songs also add in touches of alternative and modern rock.
Gåte plays a musical style that is very heavily rooted in Nordic folk music as well as mixing in some alternative and modern rock influences to update the style for modern era. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Norwegian and cover Folklore themes.
In my opinion Gåte are a very great sounding alternative folk music band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Solfager og Ormekongen" "Horpa" "Kjærleik" and "Sjåaren". 8 out of 10.
