When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fetes Krist Novoselic later this year, it will be well-timed recognition. Not for his band — Nirvana certainly doesn't need the publicity — but for his instrument. Krist Novoselic may be the first accordionist ever inducted, an honor that comes at a time when the accordion is experiencing a striking resurgence in popularity. Proudly accordion-centric acts like Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire, and The Lumineers win Grammies and top chart spots. Older ones, like Flogging Molly, They Might Be Giants, and Neutral Milk Hotel, now enjoy cherished-cult-icon status. Accordion diehards and retailers say it really does feel like a comeback for the instrument, whose previous heyday ended in the ‘60s. |
