Instinkt | ar

New-folk music ensemble from Denmark edges towards rock without ever crossing the line into pure pop. Heavy on the fiddles, with a generous supply of hurdy-gurdy, flutes, and viola, and backed up with a rock-solid rhythm section.

INSTINKT made their debut performance at the Frederiksund Folk Festival in August 2000. The festival organisers counted on the group before it was even formed, but the 5 musicians rose to the challenge. After an explosive debut concert, INSTINKT developed into a unique band with a versatile and highly individual sound.

All of INSTINKT's members have a common love for Nordic folk music, which forms the jumping off point for the band's original compositions. The development of the music is characterised by a combination of their openness and their love of playing - ideas are allowed to run free and musical instincts are encouraged to thrive. .
