Lean back, let your heart rest. Ljungens lag (The law of the heather) will lower your blood pressure. This album, by The Cardigans bass player Magnus Sveningsson and produced by Carl Granberg was recorded in the spring of 2019. Since the critically acclaimed debut album Skånes Järnvägar (Railroads of Scania), Råå has released the remix single Stickspår, the cover EP Himmelsblå and the live LP Folkhemmet. Råå does not stand still, but moves only at moderate speed. This is true slow cooking for your ears.

The second studio album by Råå has a new palette of sounds, but has its roots in Skånes Järnvägar. Slow and meditative. A new breed of northern dub. Sampled Nyabinghi drums on top of Congolese nuns. Antique drum machines jam with the ghost of Matt Johnson. Halfway through the album, we meet up with the Velvets and then go to bed with Yo la Tengo by the end.

If the first record was a trainride through the fog of southern Sweden, this is Paris–Dakar. Nordic folklore, African balafon, Jamaican drums, East German synthesizers.
