A nameless puzzle/a mistery beyond the realm of language.

The Norwegian duo Thinguma*jigSaw (meaning something like “a nameless puzzle/a mistery beyond the realm of language”, hence the title) describes their music as splatter folk, which is supposedly a combination of the darker parts of American, British and Scandinavian folk music mixed with art music. According to their bio, they are inspired by anything from horror films and Fiodor Dostojevskij to 80′s lo-fi cassette albums and experimental theatre. However, don’t get me wrong: the music of Thinguma*jigSaw is far more beautiful than it is brutal. By using the power of silence as one of one of the main keys in their music, they manage to build up mysterious and witch-like soundscapes that belongs to a world where anything can happen if you don’t watch your steps.
Order their 2010 album Ghoul’s Out from Tigernet (Norway only) or purchase it via iTunes store here.
