Lindy-Fay Hella & Dei Farne announce new album ‘Hildring’
LINDY-FAY HELLA & DEI FARNE have announced a new album!
Titled Hildring, the upcoming album from the collaborative project between the WARDRUNA musician and band (featuring Roy Ole Førland, Ingolf Hella Torgersen and new addition Sondre Veland) is scheduled to be released in November this year, via By Norse.
Speaking about the upcoming album, Lindy-Fay says, “Hildring is the Norwegian word for mirage. When on a long journey, you can start to wonder what is real and what is not, but at the same time, you are constantly seeking the unknown. This album is darker and more rhythm based. We’ve been sending ideas to each other and worked it out in the studios with the band, additional musicians and the producer Iver Sandoy. We found that we had a common interest in alternative 70s and 80s music. We like to work fast and trust the gut feelings, rather than analysing everything to pieces. The first takes are often the best ones in our department. The nerve we want to keep in our music is that of a not always perfect one. With some hair, spikes and edges. That’s why part of the Hildring album is totally improvised. We are getting older and feel safe in our own musical expression. We simply make the music we want to make.”
The album intends to reflect the sense of wonder and awe with which LINDY-FAY HELLA & DEI FARNE view the natural world and the elemental forces of their rural surroundings outside of Bergen. Lindy-Fay elaborates further, “I have seen a place up in the Lyderhorn mountains that makes a perfect mirror in the water when still. It makes me think of the Otherworld or parallel Universes. “What is behind the veil?” As they questioned in earlier times. All the curiosities I get from walking there makes me wonder, maybe the Witches that were said to be up there felt something similar? To me it is a magical place and the favourite of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen. Also, from where I grew up, on an Island by the open ocean. The memories from that place and the stories I heard from my grandfather about mythical creatures and possible dangers at Sea, gives me great inspiration as well.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the project have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Hildring.
