Eivør announces new album ‘Tungl’
EIVØR have announced a brand new album!
Titled Tungl, the upcoming release from the acclaimed Faroese singer-songwriter is set for release on October 16th, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album’s title translates as “moon” and marks the next chapter in EIVØR‘s remarkable career, following 2024’s ENN and the release of the single Healer earlier this year.
Speaking about the album’s sound, EIVØR continues to blend ancient Nordic influences with contemporary folk and electronic textures, creating a deeply immersive and cinematic listening experience.
Alongside the announcement, she has released the new single, Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden. Speaking about the track, EIVØR shares, “I’m excited to share my new song, Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden, with you. The song is a tribute to the fierce, intuitive force that lives within us all. While my previous single, Healer, explored resilience, Dragon Maiden feels more like an awakening, a reminder of the power that has always been within you.
The song began as a poem that had been quietly living in the back of my mind for a long time. I wanted to capture that beautiful, liberating feeling of letting go of the need to control everything and opening yourself to whatever life may bring. I invited one of my favourite poetic minds, Marjun S. Kjelnæs, to finish the poem with me, and I’m so proud of what we created together.
I produced and recorded the song with my partner in crime, Tróndur Bogason, and my band. I wanted it to feel playful and danceable, while still carrying an undercurrent of melancholy. I love the contrast between movement and stillness, light and shadow, and I think this song lives somewhere between those worlds.
Dragon Maiden is about trusting your intuition, embracing uncertainty, and finding the courage to surrender to life’s unfolding. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is stop trying to control everything and simply allow ourselves to be carried forward. I hope this song encourages people to reconnect with that part of themselves.”
