Second album by a largely
unsatisfactory folk group with an emphasis on fiddling. ”Oskapliga
låtar” sounds like a mix of Norrlåtar and Skäggmanslaget but
much more lightweight and less finesse than any of those. The best track in this lot
is ”En gång i min ungdom” which sounds a lot like Folk &
Rackare's mid-period albums with crumhorns added.
”Oskapliga låtar” was originally released by Oktober but reissued in the mid 80s by Sonet. The reissue has a different cover (see above), confusingly enough similar to the one used for the band's first album ”Luffarschottis” from the previous year.
Noteworthy guest appearance: Malanda Gassama on percussion. Per ”Puma” Hedlund is now a fairly wellknown key harpist.
