Myrkur releases new song ‘Dronning Ellisiv’

MYRKUR has released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Dronning Ellisiv, is the brand new single from the Danish folk artist and comes on the back of her latest album, Folkesange, which was released back in March.

The new song was actually recorded during the Folkesange album sessions and sees Amalie Bruun harnessing the very magic that has made her new album so special – from soaring atmospheres to lush instrumentations accompanying Bruun‘s bold, immense voice.

The new song a reimagining of a song by the great Harald Foss and tells the tale of the Grand Prince Yaroslav of Novgorod and his daughter Elisiv of Kiev. Elisiv would later marry King Harald of Norway and become Queen Consort of Norway in the 1040’s. Immersive and ethereal, the mood of Dronning Ellisiv dives into the source material and continues to evoke the sounds of expansive folk music, breathing new life into an old Nordic tale.

Folkesange is out now via Relapse Records.
