Westerlund, Janne

Marshland

On 'Marshland', his second solo album, Janne Westerlund uses mainly banjo and dulcimer to accompany his unpolished and distinctive delivery. In order to emphasize the difference to the bands he plays in -Circle, Plain Ride and Pharaoh Overlord- he keeps the arrangements of his solo songs starkly sparse, using additional elements such as percussion and drums only on a few tracks. Although obviously influenced by American folk and blues, he also draws inspiration from medieval music and Scandinavian melancholic tonality.
