Torsåker, once the heart of Gästrikland’s mining district, is a small town in Hofors municipality with a rich history.
Torsåkersvalsen is a traditional folk tune that Görgen and Slim have reimagined for today, blending driving three-beat techno with the waltz’s powerful melodies.
The piano parts were recorded in Torsåker by Sara Fridholm, while the atmospheric night-time field recordings were captured by Christopher Andersson Bång on an April night.
