We have been doing a lot of background and preparatory work for the past weeks, namely in preparation for our new (4th) album BJARGRÚNIR, which will be out in May. The title of the album derives from Sigurdrífumál from the Poetic Edda (13th c.), and is one of the many magical runes that the valkyrie Sigurdrífa suggested to Sigurður fáfnisbani (Sigurd/Sigfried) that he learn in order to aid women in labour. The album is one big labour of love, celebrating Icelandic folk music and folk ballads, and in a way highlighting the female experience and inter-generational trauma. We can’t wait to present it to you all.
The first single will be out in April and more on that very soon (photo clue)…
