‘The music is varied and evocative and the arrangements and interpretations are impeccable, by times, haunting and amusing. There is not much that is better than Ensemble Polaris.’ Customer at CDBaby

Not Much is Worse than a Troll is Polaris’ second CD and continues along the Scandinavian path first explored with Midnight Sun, using the wide variety of instruments and arrangements for which the band is remembered. From squeaky toys to palimpsests, duo to full ensemble works, Not Much is Worse Than a Troll will surprise and delight old and new fans alike.
