Supertrioen Hialøsa fra den sydsvenske region Skåne udgiver en eksklusiv single denne vinter for at fremhæve deres kommende sæsonrepertoire: “Scanian Hightimes”
Gruppen lærte denne sang af den kendte kædedans ekspert Bitte Kronvist, som sang den for Alva, mens hun kørte i bil til en spillemandsfestival i den dybe skov.
Sangen er en fortælling om en bonde, der møder en ræv, og desperat vil have dens skind til sin julehue. Han tilbyder ham en fed gås til at bytte for skindet, men ræven er skeptisk. Rævens søster griber ind for at stoppe handlen, men bonden tager sin bue og skyder dem begge. Så nu kan han lave to hatte!
Denne episke historie fortolkes af Hialøsa med deres karakteristiske intense lyd, hvor Alvas kraftfulde violin driver melodien sammen med Loves energiske sang på det skånske sprog. Alt imens Malte groover den lave ende med en bue kontrabas og et tungt tramp.
Producer og lydtekniker Markus Nilsson kunne heller ikke lade være med at tilføje både bækkener og kirkeklokker til den MEGET klimatiske afslutning!

English text
The super trio Hialøsa from the southern Swedish region of Scania releases an exclusive single this winter to highlight their new upcoming seasonal repertoire: “Scanian Hightimes”
The group learned this song from renowned longdance expert Bitte Kronvist, who sang it to Alva while driving a car to some fiddle festival in the deep forest.
The song is a tale about a farmer who meets a fox, and desperately wants to have its skin for his christmas hat. He offers him a juicy goose to trade for the skin, but the fox is skeptical.. The foxes sister intervenes to stop the trade, but the farmer takes up his bow and shoots them both. So now he can make two hats!
This epic story is interpreted by Hialøsa with their signature intense sound, with Alva’s powerful violin driving the melody together with Love’s energetic singing in the Scaninan language of “Skånska”. All while Malte grooves the low end with a bowed double bass and a heavy stomp.
Producer and engineer Markus Nilsson also couldnt resist adding both cymbals and church bells to the VERY climactic ending
