The Swedish-Norwegian trio Aevestaden release their debut album Ingen Mere Grater.
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.-The 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. -�vestaden
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.-Aevestaden is fearless. We need the fearless in Norwegian folk music, more than ever. We need new voices. Aevestaden is many new voices in one trio. Anchored in eternity-pointing forward-Listen! Just that. Listen. -Karl Seglem
The trio consists of Eir Vatn Strom, Levina Storakern 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.
