Danish/Irish band Kasir released only two albums between 2006 and 2011. However, those two albums were notable for their fast-paced music and simplicity that made all three players let their instruments shine through. I love trios, for they always focus on the clarity of playing rather than elaboration. I don’t know, but that’s just me.
I did check their Facebook page and found out they are still active. There are even talks of reunion gigs.
Kasir is:
Oisin Walsh-bodhran and shaker
Rune Barshund-whistles and accordion
Aske Fuglsang-guitar, mandolin, and vocal
Listening to them lifts my mood, especially waking up in the afternoon as I work a night shift. What stands out to me is their tight playing and love for an arrangement that works for each tune and not just for making jolly tunes with distinctive instruments.
Now there will be times when you are feeling a little blue. And you might need something to cheer you up. Just listen to these guys and let your surroundings turn golden.
