Gabriel Tamas Hungarian folk music was good anyway, but Pirkan play it so masterfully that it's easy to get lost in the sound and atmosphere. Easily one of the best recent contemporary folk albums, on par with Skyforger, Byrdi or Wolcensmen (who actually recommended this project to me). The addition of traditional Mongolian songs is also a very welcomed bonus to the already perfect album! Sun & Moon Records should press this on Vinyl someday1 Favorite track: Túl a vizen.

about

Psychedelic Folk / Drone Folk from Hungary, with ex- Scivias members! The first full length album.

credits

released March 16, 2020

Love and death flutters the deepest moments of the Hungarian folk song heritage, and these exact moments are captured by the most compelling covers and own songs of Pirkan. Contemporary poems set to music also end up Pirkanised, the human's broken heart rings over the echoing fields of passing.
The range of instruments includes traditional Hungarian ones, zither, kobza, flute, overtone flute, hurdy-gurdy, Jew's harp, double bass, accompanied by analog synthesizers and a vast amount of digital sound makers, and to make the sound even more eclectic there are the tobshuur of the Mongolian steppes and throat singing.
Far from world music's cheap manifestations, the band seeks perennial truths beyond time and space, and wishes to address today's man with the freshness of vigorous tradition.
