Foxy Lady: Hedningarna and "Räven"

Today's random tune is by Swedish group Hedningarna. The band's name means "the heathens," and they take old Scandinavian folk music and fuse it with electronica and rock, as well as a traditional Sami form of song called yoik. Wishing to plumb the roots of Old Norse culture, the band used ancient instruments and one of their members even created new ones. Currently a trio, the band has had a variety of past members, including Finnish members. You can find this song, Räven, on their 2011 album Trä. The song is about a woman who is also a fox.
