since you were on the subject of things scandinavian, my oslo-resident 
brother
sent me a cd a few years ago of a norwegian folk quartet called bukkene 
bruse.
name of that cd is "steinstolen"- and i have been quite impressed with it 
from
the first listening-no looping per se, but there are certainly plenty of
ostinato figures woven in and out of the melodies...might call it 
"loop-ish"?
anyway, quite lovely stuff, and worth looking for. it's on heilo/grappa
records...

cheers,
