Stylistically one could compare the vocal harmonies on some tracks to Malicorne, its medieval inspirations to Tarentule, and a few exotic touches has made some associate Emmanuelle Parrerin with it. Most of the album is rather sparsely arranged in a rather pastoral way, with a few folk dance movements and an acoustic percussive track. The female lead voice is lovely, like in Malicorne’s band, but also the lead male voice has a beautiful softness. Instruments like bto in the mix. The original inspirations on old music make something reborn in a rooted tradition alone worth keeping vivid, like Sourdeline also does.

The band name Sourdeline refers to the earliest bagpipe invented by a Frenchman in Italy Baptiste Riva, an instrument with 4 chanters and a complex key system, and which had an extra pump like an accordion which allowed a steady flow. This instrument could work as a reference to the old music, but more specifically the band just liked the sonority of word, which fitted well to their music (as a sort of lyrical explorative gentleness a matter of speaking).
