“The Accordion Tribe was a collective of five of the world's most distinctive and innovative contemporary accordionists: Bratko Bibic (Slovenia), Lars Hollmer (Sweden), Maria Kalaniemi (Finland), Guy Klucevsek (USA) and Otto Lechner (Austria). Individually, they are celebrated locally and internationally as adventurers in classical, jazz, folk and avant-garde music circles. Collectively, they have created a multi-dimensional new vehicle for accordion music exploration and entertainment, featuring solos and combinations, new compositions and collaborative arrangements.
This was the third Accordion Tribe album, Lunghorn Twist. Recorded in Lars Hollmer's Chickenhouse studio, Uppsala, Sweden in November 2005, "Lunghorn Twist" showcases the band at their most adventurous and eclectic. The five musicians convened with almost twenty new pieces, some in completed form, others in raw state. The band chemistry kicked in immediately upon arriving to the studio and the music gushed forth for ten days, taking unexpected twists, turns and directions.
Over seventy minutes of music was eventually produced from the sessions. Lars Hollmer, in a super-human effort, spent over one month assembling, editing, mixing and preparing the album for final release. The result is the band's most challenging, compelling and brain-contorting music to date. In "Lunghorn Twist", the distinctive personality of each musician is clearly heard while various mixtures of personalities and styles in many of the pieces opens new windows to accordion exploration, in composition, arrangement and performance.
The Accordion Tribe hereby presents one of the most fascinating, engaging and enjoyable accordion albums in the history of the instrument.”
