If Eivør’s last album, 'Enn', marked the beginning of a darker, more atmospheric phase, her forthcoming release, 'Tungl' – the Faroese word for ‘moon’ – and her first for the powerhouse German metal label Nuclear Blast, sees her reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.
As Eivør herself says: “Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life – its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, 'Tungl' serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience, and transformation found along the way.”
