Dzelzs Vilks, an ecletic rock group that in recent years has turned to tapping Latvian folklore for its music, has released yet another album. The band’s Uijā, uijā, nikni vilki hit stores in Rīga on June 5, just before the Midsummer holiday.
The release by recording company Upe tuviem un tāliem was timed with the band’s “Jaunie Jāņi” concert June 17 at Andrejsala, where Dzelzs Vilks played songs from the new album.
The album’s 11 tracks include:
- Klusiet jauni, klusiet veci
- Lietiņš lija Jāņu nakti
- Uijā, uijā, nikni vilki
- Vai māsiņa nemaldās
- Melni kraukļi
- Jānits kannu sastīpoja
- Maza mana līgaviņa
- Raganiņa bubināja
- Riekstiņi
- Vēja māte
- Mēnestiņš nakti brauca
Formed in 1991, the band is led by Juris Kaukulis and includes Andris Alviķis, Mārcis Judzis and Kaspars Tobis.
