No category is big enough to fit the music of Balstyrko, which is quite unique. The three musicians in the band, Ane Trolle, Blæs Bukki and Anders Christophersen, have stirred together a blend of reggae, hip hop, folk and electronica and the outcome is a bunch of cuddling, catchy and edgy songs. One critics called their newly released album "Jagten På Noget" lullabies for adults and I agree that the music is soft for the ear but without losing its character.
The hit value of tracks like "Intet Stopper Helt", "Hold Igen" and "Jagten På Noget" is obvious and the lyrics are marked with Blæs Bukki´s sharp pen. He knows how to make words sound delicious next to each other while at the same offering critical content about society today.
One of the things that have been great about the Danish music scene in recent years, is that people are not afraid of mixing genres in all kind of directions and inventing new forms. They are not afraid of breaking the existing norms, and I think that Balstyrko is a key example of that trend.
