Det dansk/islandske band Krauka udgiver deres 8. fuldlængde album; Heimkoma.
Heimkoma indeholder 10 nye sange flot indkapslet i Kraukas signaturlyd, der er en unik blanding af nordiske viking-inspirerede traditioner og verdens- og folkemusik. Albummet indeholder udelukkende originale kompositioner, med en blanding af nyskrevne og traditionelle sange med tekster på islandsk.
“Vi er glæder os til at udgive pladen. Den er en fortsættelse af vores univers, myten, asetroen, eventyret, sagaerne, utopien og mennesket.” Dette er rygraden i Kraukas univers, siger Gudjon Gudmundsson.
”Vi har haft god tid denne gang til at skabe et unikt album. Mens alt var lukket ned, åbnede Krauka op, – vi har sjældent været bedre rustet til at gå i studiet”, siger han og smiler.

3. single: KRAUKA- Mansöngur GO0523-3
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.

2. single: KRAUKA- Ákall GO0523-2

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.
