KAIPA: VITTJAR

Swedish progressive folk-rock-fusion-band KAIPA has recorded a new album “Vittjar”. The album was released in August 2012 on Inside Out Music. The unique music of KAIPA constantly continues to evolve but no matter what direction it takes it always carries a profound breath from the innermost depths of the ancient Swedish primeval forest. This time they even use the Swedish language in the title track to further express and underline these feelings.

“Vittjar” is Kaipa’s 11th studio album and it continues the musical journey that explored new grounds with the highly acclaimed album “In the wake of evolution” 2010. The addition of the eminent guest-musicians Fredrik Lindqvist (recorders & whistles) and Elin Rubinsztein (violin) further underlines the folk influences in the music.

Line-up:
Hans Lundin: Electric and acoustic keyboards, vocals
Per Nilsson: Electric and acoustic guitars (Scar Symmetry)
Morgan Ågren: Drums (Mats & Morgan, Zappa)
Jonas Reingold: Electric basses (The Flower Kings, Karmakanic)
Patrik Lundström: Vocals (Ritual)
Aleena Gibson: Vocals

Fredrik Lindqvist: Recorders & whistles (Ritual)
Elin Rubinsztein: Violin

KAIPA: IN THE WAKE OF EVOLUTION

The band continues the time-honoured Kaipa tradition but as always they’re simultaneously looking for new challenges hiding by the roadside. The new album is an emotional and powerful blast straight into the future powered by fragile fragments from memory lane.

Kaipa underline its unambiguous folk influences and incorporate it in the music in an own personal and natural way with the addition of the eminent guest-musicians Fredrik Lindqvist (recorders) and Elin Rubinsztein (violin)

“In the wake of evolution” picks up where “Angling feelings” left off and invites you to another breathtaking journey through the myriad and dazzling Kaipa landscape.

This is most definitely the best release in the progressive genre this year. The eight songs featured on In The Wake Of Evolution are of a unseen quality and are just simply sublime. Highlight on the album is of course the almost eighteen minute lasting song Electric Power Water Notes which takes you on a trip through the folky progressive Kaipa landscape.

If you are a prog lover, just go out and buy this album without hesitation. Eight extremely strong compositions, beautiful melodies and yet unmistakably Kaipa. It will be very difficult for any band in the genre to release a stronger sounding album than this one.

10/10 Furyrocks

I think most prog fans would travel great distances barefoot over stony ground to hear music like this and there are many, many bands I can think of who would doubtless give their eye teeth to create something as lavish and sumptuous as In The Wake... The album opener (and title track) alone is worth the cost of purchase. It's jaw-dropping, eyes full of wonder, joyous listening. It gambols into life through a bouncing, trilling overture in 11/8, a time signature that declaims, "Oh, this must be prog!" This comes to an abrupt halt and Aleena begins the heartfelt and impassioned vocal, a melody I cannot get out of my head. Each verse has its own cadence that develops via the accumulation of doleful strings, weeping in descending arcs then a chopping and funky clavichord that lifts the melody out of the doldrums in a way that makes me want to applaud as the track ascends into its closing theme using melodies and harmonies that recall Fragile-era Yes with Jon Anderson and Chris Squire at their best. Structurally and musically this is extremely clever stuff, the leitmotif of the "overture" is twisted, tilted, deconstructed and remixed in four different ways, at least. The musicianship is stellar. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
9/10 DPRP

"Arcs of Sound" and "Electric Power Water Notes" & "Smoke From a Secret Source" round out the record's grass rooted art-rock approach with mind-bending improvisations and insane time signatures/key changes, again further exposing the band's strengths upon musicianship and melody.

In Wake of the Evolution is another tried and true testament to classic progressive rock with a modern flare - still knowing no boundaries when pressing on with their compositional approach and showing that the headroom is unlimited when it comes to executing an impressive musical mindset.

4,5/5 Ytsejam.com

Long songs on the album full sparkling prog rock; melodic, contemporary and washed in a superb sound. Listen to that "Electric Power Water Notes", with almost eighteen minutes the longest piece, uncovering beautiful secrets. But also the short and folky "Folkia's First Decision" and the varied "The Seven Oceans Of Our Mind", what a musical enjoyment. This is Kaipa's best album, hands down. Sincere compliments to our European neighbours from the north

Bio

My life is filled with signs. They enter my consciousness from a musical universe somewhere inside of me. This universe is filled with an enormous power built on all the positive experiences I’ve captured through the years, and it guides me in my decisions of what’s right and what’s not. I think I act as a bridge between my inner universe and the unknown receiver in the outside world. I transform moods and feelings from inside my mind into music and words, to establish a connection with the audience and to transfer these feelings into the consciousness of the listener.

I’ve grown in awareness that this is some kind of mission, and that I am a messenger. My mission brings joy into my life, and if I can bring joy into other peoples lives, and get their feedback, it’s like an enormous circle of energy built on creative capacity.

Today our world is full of people trying to be famous. They don’t really care how they obtain fame. They have a lot of self-confidence but almost no self-knowledge, no higher mission. I am not interested in celebrity; it’s the contents of my music I wish to spread.

In the summer of 1964 a schoolmate, who played drums in a pop group, asked me if I was interested in playing organ and singing in his band. This band, “The Shakemen”, was the beginning of my musical career. My first public appearance took place on 22 August 1964. After a few months the name was changed to “S:t Michael Sect”. Like most bands of the time we played mostly covers. Some of our favourite groups were: Zombies, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, Downliners Sect and Manfred Mann. The band was successful, rated in Oslo as the best Nordic pop group of 1965. We recorded three singles, of covers and original compositions penned by guitar player Thomas Frisk. Over the years we changed members and styles. In 1968 Tomas Eriksson became our bassist. In 1970 the name was shortened to “San Michael’s”. At this time I had started to write songs with Swedish lyrics. In 1971 we recorded an eponymous LP with original material only. A second album was recorded in 1972, but never released. These two albums were recorded at ULAB Studio in Uppsala and it was my first meeting with sound engineer Leif Mases. In January 1973 the group was finally split. I continued to work with Tomas Eriksson backing popular artists like Emile Ford and Harpo.

In 1967 I bought my Hammond organ, one of my best friends. I have never been interested in playing like Jimmy Smith. My inspirations were bands like Steppenwolf, Spencer Davis Group, Procul Harum and ELP. I got a kick out of the band Ekseption, who showed what could be done with classical music; and Swedish organ player Merit Hemmingsson, who showed how to play Swedish folk music on the organ. I think these were two of the many sources of inspiration that sparked my song writing in KAIPA. In the autumn of 1973 I asked Tomas Eriksson to join me in the forming of this new band. Our debut album was released in 1975. The first version of Kaipa (1973-1982) recorded five albums and became the leading Scandinavian progressive rock band.

At the end of 1982 the last version of the band Kaipa decided to take a break. This break would last a long time. Between 1984 – 1989 I recorded three solo albums and released them on my own record label ÖRAT Records: “Tales” (1984), “Visions of circles of sounds” (1985) and “Houses” (1989). Musically, all these albums are a journey back to the basic “Kaipa music” with their focus on melodies. The first album contains all the music I wrote beside working with the last Kaipa album “Nattdjurstid”. I also wrote for radio, television, theatre and video productions.

I became the father of two wonderful daughters, Tove (1984) and Jessica (1986). During the years when they were growing up I wanted to spend much of my time at home. I wrote a lot of music during these years, but nothing was recorded after “Houses”.

In 1996 fiddle player Anders Rosén asked me to be part of a new project called “Hagen”. The idea was to make a record mixing Swedish folk music and heavy rock. I thought this was an interesting idea, and I saw it as a challenge and a possibility to learn more about the roots of the traditional Swedish music. The record “Hagen: Corridors of time” was released on the German label Angular Records in 2001. Working with this record gave me a lot of new inspiration in my own writing. Maybe this was the injection I needed. In the beginning of 2000 I started to compile the best songs I had written, convinced that time was on my side, and that I had to do something about it. I contacted Roine Stolt and presented my ideas. That was the beginning of the new Kaipa.

The Kaipa album “Notes from the past” was released on InsideOut Music in 2002 and it has been followed by “Keyholder “ 2003, “Mindrevolutions” 2005, “Angling feelings” 2007, "In the wake of evolution" 2010 and "Vittjar" 2012.

Reviews

The overall effect is simply breathtaking. Pure mastery of prog rock essentials. The music itself takes us back into the 70s, then hurls us back into the 90s and into the future. KAIPA is a bridge between the past and the future. It has no prejudice while looking back into the crazy 70s and no fear looking into the uncertain future. To sum up, rarely do we get the chance to hear such an amazing musical production.

Progresy

The keyboard work from Mr. Lundin (who wrote all of the music for this recording) is at a minimum, incredibly powerful and imaginative in sound structure.

Delicious Agony

The melodies are tremendous. The keyboard solos are astonishing. The song is just truly engrossing.

Progressiveworld

Lundin´s keyboards are as always supreme, ever present and joy for any keyboard freak.

Progplanet

Notes from the Past has shown that Hans Lundin still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve and is a viable member of the progressive rock community.
