Bad Liver & Hans Brustna Hjärtan - Waits På Svenska

Review by Michele Garber

Waits På Svenska is an album that showcases the unique blend of American and Swedish folk music, brought to life by Bad Liver & Hans Brustna Hjärtan. The album features a collection of Tom Waits' songs, translated into Swedish and performed with a fresh and innovative sound.

The album opens with "Tom Traubert's Blues," a song that captures the essence of Waits' gritty and raw style while adding a touch of Scandinavian folk. The haunting melodies of "Time" and "Downtown Train" are transformed into a more melancholic and introspective sound, while "Jockey Full of Bourbon" is given a lively and upbeat treatment.

Throughout the album, Bad Liver & Hans Brustna Hjärtan deliver a masterful performance, blending acoustic instruments with electronic beats and soundscapes to create a unique and captivating sound. The vocals are soulful and emotive, capturing the essence of the original songs while adding a touch of Swedish folk.
