dorotheeju When I listen to Ufång, I strangely feel understood, like I can make peace with my shadows. The lyrics are in Tyrolean and are so raw, they strangely put me at ease. The whole record is intense, it bears strange harmonies, has interesting changes, it is tickling and soon soothing... The CD book is beautifully made with stories around the Perchta, lyrics and pictures taken from the music video for Åtem. Favourite songs are Wåssa and Åtem. I truly needed Perchta in my life! Favorite track: Wåssa.

cosmicvelocity Immediately digging the concept of the album and what they did there with the theme on the zither. It plucks a long buried string in my soul. Does not work indoors. Go outside, best in a fog or a drizzle. The Perchta got straight into my head and made comfortable there. I was expecting something a bit different after the preview tracks, and I'm usually not into the ambient stuff. But this Album here hits a nerve. I'm hoping for more, there could be two more albums completing the circle, right?

about

Taking its name from a pagan goddess revered among the people in the Upper German and Austrian Alps, Perchta from Tyrol, Austria, were founded in 2017 and channel the deity's essence to keep alive regional traditions that have been trivialized over time to fit modern conveniences.

Known to walk among men from Christmas to Epiphany and thus symbolizing a time of transition, Perchta has many faces and guises, at once radiant beauty and wrinkled, old hag, both unforgiving punisher and nourishing guardian, haunting destroyer as well as rewarding creator. "Ufång", the project's first album, is just as multi-faceted, with the four key songs representing the elements of earth, wind, fire and water, entirely intoned in local vernacular.

In its epic scope, "Ufång" sounds like a tempest of tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with a voice on top to pierce marrow and bone. Remarkably, Perchta is also a functional live formation, sporting extravagant light and stage properties made from driftwood between which the front woman will sermonize, face-painted in historical black garb with embroidered belt and cast-iron broom …

"Ufång" is available as Digipak CD, LP and 2CD artbook (48 pages, 18x18cm) with all lyrics, additional texts about the Perchta lore, poetry and photo material as well as two bonus tracks.
