Named after the Old Norse word for 'soul' and 'sea', 'SÁLA' is an act of 'soul retrieval', the shamanic art of trauma recovery, be it illness, death, heartbreak or loss, and the reintegration of a splintered self. Across its 13, wide-ranging, elegantly unfolding tracks, the album is an embodiment of different feminine voices and perspectives - from the Norse nine daughters of the sea, or 'billow maidens', through various historical and fictional figures to the late-night voices we hear in our most liminal states - all with tales to tell, riddles to solve, challenges to be accepted and guidance to offer. It's a multiplicity that, like the ocean itself, belongs to a vast, restless dynamic: a matrix of mysteries, unfathomable depths and ever-shifting currents, accumulating into an elemental, regenerative source of power.
