Album Notes

”Jens Friis-Hansen […] sings theatrical, loud, pushing. – and well. His theatrical voice reaches high as a church spire, and in exposed positions, it reminds one of Robert Plant. […] A plus for humor, funny English lyrics and oringinality all the way through.
(Alexander Agrell, Sydsvenskan, Sweden, April 09)

”Above all the title track is unbeatable in it’s combination of playfulness and power. […]. The ferrocious groove and the funny lyrics of Cyanide isn´t at all bad either. I also have a weakness for sad Balkanboogies such as This Ship Is Sinking, Kiss Me If You Can and Give Me You. Tummel makes music to be happy to, and happy is exactly what you become after a round of Payback Time.
(Roger Bengtsson, Ikon, Sweden, May 2009)

”The influences – Balkan, Indian, Arabic, and even some Irish, soaks their hot-tempered but well composed folk music.[…] In other words, Tummel is a group of nutheads whose third record is definitely worth a place in the cd-collection of open-minded listeners.
(Sundsvalls tidning, Sweden, April 2009)

“The agitated clarinet [sic!], the violin and the languishing accordeon really grooves, while the rock drums are thundering. The band calls their music ‘mongrel music*, which is very suitable. Here, the genres are wildly mixed, and often with a successful result thanks to the strong foundation in Eastern European party music. The voice of the singer Jens Friis-Hansen is strong and clear on all tracks.
(Carl-Johan Bauler, Norra Skåne, Sweden, april 09)

” It is energetic, funny and quite crazy.”
(Per Strömbro, Norra Västerbotten, Sweden, april 2009)
