King Bird (2016)

***CORRECTION***
In this episode I talk about Sami joik, and then play a Karelian joik, which I have been informed is not related at all. 

This episode of Fair Folk delves into the rich musical and mythical world of Finland, blisses out on rune-song, and investigates the science behind the smell of snow.
