 The Faroese band Týr , though consisting of a typical rock band lineup with electric instruments , makes extensive use of traditional Faroese music in its song composition . Faroese ballads typically involve unusual time signatures , most commonly 74 or the alternative rhythms 128 or 98 . In an attempt to replicate these uneven signatures , Týr often places the accent on the weak beat of the bar . In songs based on old Faroese ballads , Týr will usually play in harmonic or melodic minor scale or else in mixolydian mode .
