Norwegian quartet Kalandra are releasing a beautiful music video for their previously released song "Hymna til Blåfjell"!

Hymna til Blåfjell is a cover originally from an old Norwegian children’s TV calendar series in the early 00’s, but the song has been rearranged quite a lot from its original form.

The Mørketid EP features four tracks—two carefully reimagined covers alongside two original compositions.

Kalandra: "This collection of winter songs is for everyone—regardless of what you believe, or don’t believe. May these songs be your soundtrack for finding the strength to make it through another winter"

Full video here: https://youtu.be/VHd_LIIKUAs?si=JF3GUGR07r1K41_R

Original composers Bent Åserud and Geir Bøhren.
Lyrics by Gudny Hagen.
Recorded at Folkemusikksenteret in Buskerud, Norway

On 'Úr Öskunni', Gísli Gunnarsson works together with the Lyra String Quartet for a number of songs. The collaboration on "Aska" transformed the track and conveyed such desperation and grief.

"Aska is one of the tracks where the Lyra String Quartet absolutely blew me away. Their expressiveness was frankly quite overwhelming and emotional to even be in the studio while recording this one."

Singer, musician, activist, and cultural icon Mari Boine is inviting you to listen to the new single, Go buolašidja savkala (Whispers of Frost)

Mari comments: “For me, this song expresses simplicity and purity. It reminds us that the openness of a child’s heart can reveal deep truths – about love, about nature (luondu), and about the unseen world that surrounds us,”.

The song "Aska" of Gísli Gunnarsson latest album reflects on the destructive forces of nature, during the evacuation & eruption around Grindavík, Iceland. The composer says: "As I watched my neighbours houses burn down live on the webcams from Grindavík I couldn't help but feel completely powerless. From this sense of hopelessness came this track.”

The video features real footage of these events, shot by Björn Steinbekk. Watch the full video here:

Emil Kárlsen is now releasing a new single called “Heikka-vilba”. The track is a yoik inspired on the dovdna (traditional children's yoik) that Emil sang to his cousin Heikka. The title translates to Cousin Heikka. Vilba is slang for vilbealli, meaning "cousin". Listen to the full song here: https://emilkarlsen.lnk.to/heikka

Emil shares: “As a child, Heikka had a special running-style, almost jumping as he made his way, and sometimes he would surprise with comments that you usually expected from an older, wise man. These quirks layed the foundation for his dovdna.”

As Heikka grew up, so did the yoik, developing into a song with a musical arrangement to it. “Heikka-vilba” was recorded in Berlin, where Emil’s aunt also joined to yoik her nephew. Together they developed a majestic sound with the portrayal of Heikka in mind.
