With Oasis , the Finnish/Norwegian string band returned with a great new set of inventive tunes. Using traditional music as the starting point and their family ties to the great Finnish fiddle ensemble JPP, creating unique string music that incorporates elements of bluegrass and other American folk influences.

While a few compositions on their second CD, are afforded some expanded instrumentation, the highlight remains strong tunes, such as the hauntingly beautiful title track, and the crowd-pleasing "Fantomen," which nearly brought the house down when the band appeared on the radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" on October 1, 2005.
