Gult Myrkur

Five years after the release of their last album "Painted Fire", the "Färingian folk fairy" GUÐRIÐ HANSDÓTTIR returns with their new long player "Gult Myrkur" (Yellow Darkness). Emotional and very personal. Appears on NORDIC NOTES. GUÐRIÐ, who has been going her own way as a musician for more than 20 years, convinces here again with her warm, expressive voice and, with all the love for soft acoustic sounds, with her openness to electronic sounds. In their homeland, GUÐRIÐ HANSDÓTTIR is a local superstar: their second album "The Sky Is Opening" was the best-selling album in the Faroe Islands to date. Her other releases also received prizes. "It's a very quiet place here," says GUÐRIÐ HANSDÓTTIR about her hometown of Tórshavn. "Nature probably influences every musician here on the islands. I get inspired when ic h just look out at the sea when I perceive the silence". She made the breakthrough in Germany with the third album "Beyond the Grey". GUÐRIÐ HANSDÓTTIR has collaborated on "Gult Myrkur" for the first time with LÍV MARÍA RÓADÓTTIR JÆGER, a leading Colouring poet. Liv has written the lyrics of all nine album songs. "I am glad to have Lív on board. She understands my ideas, listens, reflects and writes the most beautiful poems", GUÐRIÐ HANSDÓTTIR looks back on the collaboration. For her, "Gult Myrkur" is a "ray of light in the darkness" in difficult times after the death of her father: with songs about daily life, about grief and loss, but also about young love and about happiness.
