Eivør releases new music video for ‘Spøkilsir / Revenants’

EIVØR have released a new music video!

The Faroese singer-songwriter has unveiled Spøkilsir / Revenants, the latest single to be taken from her upcoming new album, Tungl, which is scheduled for release on October 16th.

Speaking about the song, EIVØR shares, “in Spøkilsir / Revenants, we find relief in the imperfect. I think we all carry ghosts. Things in the past we would have liked to have handled differently or little flaws within ourselves we try to hide from the world. But often when we learn to fully embrace each other’s flaws, quirks and darker sides, they become endearing. We become more patient and forgiving, not only towards each other, but also towards ourselves.”

Discussing the accompanying music video, she adds, “the music video was created by my dear friend Gwenaël Akira, whose enthusiasm and dedication always make working with him inspiring. We wanted to create an inner world, a reflection of the voices, shadows and different versions of ourselves that live inside our heads. Gwenaël conceived a mirrored box, almost like a room inside the mind, and an incredible team of artists in the Faroe Islands brought it to life.”

Director Gwenaël Akira says, “at the heart of Spøkilsir was one constructed room: a space where one body could become many and reflections could express what cannot easily be said. Finding the emotional truth within those images with EIVØR was a very special process.”
