Frigg’s mandolinist Petri Prauda wrote “Maple Cake Farm,” a fun, gently upbeat folk tune that originally appeared on the band’s 2010 album Grannen. Prauda explains that the idea for the song came to him when they were hosted at a farm in Vermont while on a US tour. “The surrounding landscape was incredibly beautiful with rolling hills and autumn colors that inspired me immediately to write this tune.”
