Myrkur releases new music video for ‘Leaves of Yggdrasil’

MYRKUR has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Leaves of Yggdrasil, is taken from the acclaimed Danish musician’s upcoming new album Folkesange which is scheduled to be released in March this year. For the new music video video, Amalie Bruun rejoined forces with filmmaker Mats Ek to create something entirely different from anything she’s ever done before.

Bruun‘s delicate and sweeping vocals paired with the violin, piano, lyre and nyckelharpa make for a lullaby-like song which she notes, “is very dear to my heart.” She continues, “I wrote Leaves of Yggdrasil about being apart from the one you love because of circumstances that are completely out of your control. The Norns weave the fates of Gods and man and sometimes that means very tough life situations. I wanted to create a song with the feeling of an old folk-tale, but with words that resonated with my own life today.”

Folkesange is set for release on March 20th via Relapse Records.
