WINNER OF THE FLANDERS FOLK AWARDS 2021 - MOST PROMISING BAND
Bipolar Bows were convincing with their energetic playing and original arrangements that break open the genre in fresh, idiosyncratic ways in which the jury saw a lot of potential.

This musical couple plays with a lot of guts – even a bit of swagger – and it pays off: the listener regularly has his ears heated. Partly because Bipolar Bows moves at the intersection between folk, jazz and classical, their flaming and extremely tight interplay evokes warm memories for me of the unsurpassed Greene String Quartet and the legendary American fiddler Richard Greene.

You may believe me or not, but something that happens very rarely happened here: I have played this record at least twenty times now and the more I hear it, the better it gets.
— Rootstime.be - Dani Heyvaert
The worlds they open up are extraordinarily colorful and fascinating [...] atmospheric creations with a classically inspired starting point, through various musical traditions, and with hunger for experiment and improvisation. The two instruments reach out to each other with an orchestral boost, even in the smallest pianissimo, revealing an impressive dynamic range.

A piece of greedily listenable crunchy chocolate and bipolar bows that make the sparks fly!
