Two phenomenal songs. Polar opposites in a lot of ways. One a traditional take on modern rock. One a modern take on traditional folk.

I grew up playing a lot of traditional folk music from Ireland, Poland, Norway, etc. What’s really cool about Valravn is that they have that background too, but they managed to take something that’s, er, a bit dated, and they made it sound incredible fresh, sexy and cool. This track works better in the context of the album, as I suppose is the norm, but I do absolutely love this song whether I’m listener, dancer, or whatever my third option is. Very original and inspiring.

Tough choice as both are quite good, but neither is stunning. I'm going with Carrion.

Surprisingly, Valravn hit me just right. I like BSP, but the unknown gets my vote here.

British Sea Power for me. Never really loved them but this hits the mark. Interesting to have something from a different culture to mine with Valravn but I didn't get too much from it on a first listen.

Edit: There is only one vote showing for BSP so maybe me or CDG hit the wrong button. Oops!

Valravn was an intriguing find and am interested in listening to more of their stuff, but gotta go with the second best thing to come out of #lolcumbria
