Olov Johansson and Mikael Marin started playing together around 1980. Visiting local artists in Sweden, they learned traditional Swedish music. They became a link in the living tradition that is Swedish folk music. "The sound may be traditional, but the attitude is completely modern, mixing up the ideas of folk, the virtuosity of prog, and the humor of the insane asylum into a cuisinart of acoustic bliss. Visualize whirled music." – Wired
