After two years as a band, the up-and-coming folk-rock band, Gangar finally releases their first EP. Gangar combines folk music with jazz, metal, and rock in the most natural way. They find old traditional tunes in folk music archives and arrange them with inspiration from bands such as Hoven Droven, AC/DC and Meshuggah.

<i>Tre Danser</i> refers to the three tunes on the EP and to Gangar's signature dance, "The Tree Dance", where you lock your legs, lift your arms, and sway like a tree with the wind. The three tunes show the broad musical spectrum in Gangar's repertoire, from the heavily arranged heavy metal composition "Fjellets melodi", after Ola Loseth (Rindal, More og Romsdal, 1897-1978), to a tune rocking like a merciless freight train, "Reinlender fra Aseral", after Gunnar Austegard (Aseral, Vest-Agder, 1884-1973). "Gammel vals fra Rindalen" consists of a beautiful and sweet melody in contrast to a hard and mean riff, meaning that you have to listen very carefully to realise that it is a waltz.
