Review

With wisdom from tales about the Slavic witch Baba Yaga as an ideological superstructure, harding fiddler Annbjørg Lien is returning with an album out of the ordinary again. It appearess in the musical landscape where pounding drums, whistles and synths around fill the air around her fiddle with exiting inventions.^[2]

The Allmusic reviewer Chris Nickson awarded the album 4.5 stars,^[1] and the review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 5.^[2]
