Swedish duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums' formula for success has been to blend Marian Wallentin's smokey jazz vocals with Andreas Werliin's intensive drumming and layer it over haunting choirs that fit well in old gothic churches. The outcome is darkly sonorous and lush - a musical style that swells to impressive heights. Known for its free-form performances, the band has used the audience to form impromptu drum circles, shown up at shows with full backing choirs and interrupted songs with ancient rituals, lending Wildbirds & Peacedrums to deliver quite the stage presence.
