The Swedish-Norwegian trio \u00c6vestaden<\/i> will release their debut album “Ingen Mere Gr\u00e5ter” on May 28th. The first single “Stanna Inte” is a song about navigating through the bottomless depths of the soul – both atmospheric, playful and groovy. The listener is driven into an innovative music world where older folk musical instruments and modern electronics meet.<\/p>\n

– \u201cThe song is a balance between the pitfalls of life’s maturation. With the course towards the sun as a symbol of wholeness and the union of the conscious and the subconscious, a steady pulse of urgent lyre and pizzicato fiddle is supported in line with the content of the text – and then it reaches a spiritual redemption in an ecstatic chorus. ” – \u00c6vestaden<\/p>\n
The upcoming debut album consists of both newly composed and traditional music, with old and modern instruments. Lyre, fiddle, mouth harp, kantele, vocals and electronics resonate in a new soundscape. The album is about the conscious and the subconscious – the worldly and the sacred – about life and death. The music is Nordic folk, but in a newer form and with a larger sound space to frolic in.<\/p>\n
– \u201c\u00c6vestaden is fearless. We need the fearless in Norwegian folk music, more than ever. We need new voices. \u00c6vestaden is many new voices in one trio. Anchored in eternity – pointing forward – Listen! Just that. Listen. “- Karl Seglem<\/p>\n
The trio consists of Eir Vatn Str\u00f8m, Levina Stor\u00e5kern and Kenneth Lien – three musicians who are all multi-instrumentalists. Their varied instrument combinations open up a unique soundscape where timeless harmonies and layers of minimalist motifs creates an open and atmospheric world.<\/p>\n
