New album, “Reisa”, out on July 19th!
Nordein is a Norwegian based folk act by musician and producer Jørn Øyhus, previously known from the norwegian metal scene (Nordjevel, Varde, Fatal Impact). He is also a founding member of neo-folk band Byrdi, and wrote/produced their first album Eventyr, as well as mixing/mastering their most popular hit Solsnu with well over 3 million listens on Spotify alone.
Nordein have for the past years been the main focus, with its three full length albums plus a handful of singles. Reisa is the new EP, hinting both backwards and forward in time musically, hailing back to the debut Nordariket, as well as pointing to new soundscapes. Spring is a journey on its own, beginning with melancholic Irish bouzouki in the forest accompanied by a owl (own night time recording). The track evolves beautifully from an introspective dark folk mood into a triumphant blooming ritual of spring, with sounds of flutes, choirs, viking drums and strings. Listening to the track is like going from a misty and gloomy early dawn, through full blown sunny mid-day and into the night. Spring is the celebration of nature coming back to life after the harsh northern winter, and encapsulates the very essence of growing, blooming and thriving, though with thoughtful undertones all the way.
