HÄXMJÖLK – Eskimo Heat (Metronome, 1976)

Instrumental
International relevance: ***

Centered around guitarist Jan Tolf (who wrote all songs for ”Eskimo Heat”) and keyboardist Harald Svensson, this could be seen as an Egba off-shoot and a continuation of Resa. Also featuring drummer Malando Gassama, saxophonist Lennart Åberg, and bassist Guy Roellinger who appeared on Melvyn Price's ”Rhythm and Blues” in 1974. Häxmjölk's style is obvious already on beforehand: funk fusion with tight arrangements that will appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands, Kornet and Mamba but much too formulaic for me.
