We've noted that Astrid Williamson's Here Come the Vikings is a "sprawling, intelligent collection of soulful ballads, not-quite-straight ahead rock anthems and everything in between. It struts and soars, exposing nerves and defying rules, challenging perceptions of her self, her music and her vision." The song "Crashing Minis" is a prime example of what makes Vikings such a compelling listen: a simple piano chord, shuffling beat and Williamson's vulnerable, tough and tender voice telling the tale of a relationship hitting the wall. More Viking love here.
