The CD comes packaged in an artful digipak and not only contains 12 new songs by the indie folk band, which present VON WEIDEN on a previously unimagined musical and production level, the album is also peppered with numerous audio book episodes and instrumental pieces that “Grandmonarch” returns to again and again Making new ones a journey.
Out of time and yet here and now, the indie folk band VON WEIDEN invites you to dance with an album that not only ostensibly tells a story, but in the truest sense of the word.
“Grandmonarch” interprets folk tradition with joy of playing and a stylish eye, but above all with joy of life and a lot of passion. VON WEIDEN have rhythm and temperament in their blood, like LABRASSBANDA, but also the subtlety of THE DECEMBERISTS.
