Diket - Sweden, Norway
Poetic folk-indie from Scandinavia
Diket inspires with its dreamy lyrics and enchanting melodies, into a world far, far away from here. The tones from Diket lets you feel the seasons through melodious folk tunes. With titles like “Mördarsnigel”, “Där löken gror” and “Vär” the mood is set and the stories are told.
The members of Diket comes from lovely bands like Ævestaden, Benedikt and Hey Gloria. In a wonderful symbiosis of fiddle, kantele, guitar, bass and drums they worship Scandinavian folk music, and the intersection between melody and lyrics is highlighted. This is a group composed of young but established musicians who play with music and make you question what genre you actually listen to. Folk music, blues, rock or indie? A wonderful mix is created Førdefestivalen , presented through the up-and-coming band Diket .
