Danish/Icelandic band Krauka presents the third single ”Mansöngur” from their upcoming album ”Heimkoma”:
Album release Vinyl + Digital Friday April 12th.
The Latin-inspired beat and seductive bassline establish an exceptionally groovy foundation, while a cheeky and sultry cello enters, setting the stage for the lead vocals that practically spit out the provocative lyrics about man and woman. This track is a remarkably successful amalgamation of Icelandic, folk, roots, world, and groove. The riff-like themes kicks off with the flute and cello, before being warmly but firmly taken over by the mandolin, and during the song’s breakdown, the Jew’s harp, the bass and percussion seamlessly blend into a sort of organic techno fusion.
The single truly encapsulates and expands Krauka’s signature sound, which is a unique blend of Nordic Viking-inspired traditions and folk/roots music inspired by old Nordic melodies and Icelandic song tradition and lyrics with roots in Nordic mythology.
Krauka has been playing together since 1999 and releasing music on CD, vinyl, and streaming.
Krauka consists of: Gudjon Rudolf Gudmundsson (Lead vocals), Søren Sol Koldsen-Zederkof (Bass & vocals), Aksel Striim (Skalmeje, stringed lyre, woodwinds & backing vocals), Søren Andersen (Drums, percussion, and backing vocals), Jens Villy Pedersen (Lyre, mandolin, woodwinds, and choir).
2. single: KRAUKA- Ákall GO0523-2
Danish/Icelandic band Krauka presents the second single ”Ákall” from their upcoming album ”Heimkoma”:
“The pulsating beat and groove lay the groundwork for an almost fairy-tale-like flute, while a majestic vocal emerges from the mountains, soaring like a divine voice from the north.”
The single truly encapsulates Krauka’s signature sound, which is a unique blend of Nordic Viking-inspired traditions and folk/roots music inspired by old Nordic melodies and Icelandic song tradition and lyrics with roots in Nordic mythology.
