Eivør releases new music video for ‘Upp Úr Øskuni’

EIVØR has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Upp Úr Øskuni, is taken from the Faroese folk artist’s upcoming new album, ENN, which is scheduled to be released later this month this year, via Season Of Mist.

Speaking about the new song, and its accompanying new music video, she says, “when I was writing Upp Úr Øskuni / Rise From The Ashes, I imagined a coven of witches, past and present, chanting to each other across the chasms of time. This video felt like a homecoming in many ways. I had a strong urge that to capture the spirit of Upp Úr Øskuni / Rise From The Ashes, we needed to film in the Faroe Islands. Katrin Joensen Næss was the perfect choice for director, as the two of us shared the same aesthetic vision. We were joined by an amazing team of Faroese female artists whom I also admire. Art Director Jenný Kragesteen, Costume Designer Maibritt Marjunardóttir and the rest of these wonderful women all delivered their special magic to this video. In the spirit of the song, we all felt that we rose from the ashes together creating this visual world. I couldn’t be more proud or more grateful for this collaboration.”
