The first album Moon Trail by Buechi - Hellmüller - Jerjen was celebrated by Swiss National Radio as the surprise of the year 2022. Now the trio is releasing a long-awaited second album, Pink Mountain Sagas, featuring guests Kristina Brunner on the Schwyzerörgeli and Andreas Gabriel on the violin. They are both key elements of a young, experimental and lively Swiss folk music. Pink Mountain Sagas bears witness to the fact that Sarah Buechi has traveled far and wide, spending over seven years on the road in Bangalore, Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Accra, Paris and New York. She has heard the world. At the same time, Pink Mountain Sagas is also a homecoming to the alpine Glarus region. An immersion in the world of legends, with their dramas and demons - that is the material this album draws on. "Initially, some things only come through as hints. But on repeated listenings, the musical structure becomes clearer, just like the sky opening up when you are travelling high up in the mountains. The expressive music literally carries the attentive mind into the rugged, alpine Glarnerland", writes Johannes Rühl in the liner notes.
