MYRKUR\u00a0<\/strong>(Amalie Bruun) returns with her highly anticipated new album,\u00a0Spine<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The new album is a tour-de-force, amalgamating some of the most exciting, innovative, and genre-defying moments from\u00a0MYRKUR’s<\/strong>\u00a0catalog into something that is haunting, extreme, and brilliant as ever. Spine lays\u00a0MYRKUR\u00a0<\/strong>bare, at her most raw and unwavering, and is undoubtedly one of the year’s most ambitious and cinematic albums.<\/p>\n

Spine\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>relates to\u00a0MYRKUR’s\u00a0<\/strong>personal mythology. Written during one of the most difficult times in Amalie Bruun’s life –\u00a0Spine<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is the direct result of her experiences following child birth. From the love and euphoria that comes with motherhood, to the fears of the unknown and the mysteries of the journey ahead,\u00a0Spine\u00a0<\/strong>is ultimately an album about seeking balance amidst chaos. To Bruun\/MYRKUR<\/strong>, the record explores the very human nature of what it means to be a mother, and finds resonances with Scandinavian mythology to do so.<\/p>\n

Recorded with Randall Dunn at the Sundlaughin Studio in Iceland (Sigur R\u00f3s) – the ebbs and flows in\u00a0Spine\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>reflect the width and breadth of\u00a0MYRKUR’s<\/strong>\u00a0emotion. These sonic shifts are represented in music that sees\u00a0MYRKUR\u00a0<\/strong>touch upon an array of influences – from undeniable metal as heard on the inimitable \u00abValkyriernes Sang\u00bb, to darker sonic territories inspired by folk and haunting vocal passages on \u00abLike Humans\u00bb. Elsewhere, the brooding \u00abMothlike\u00bb showcases a new side of\u00a0MYRKUR<\/strong>‘s sensibilities, with touches of electronic underpinnings and lush synth orchestrations.

Spine’s<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0title track proves to be one of the most moving songs of the year, as it transcends through moments of affable, delicate vocal, percussive, and string arrangements to a massive chorus that serves as a thesis statement for the rest of the album.\u00a0MYRKUR’s<\/strong>\u00a0euphoric outlook is in full display here, as the song proclaims, \u00abMy body made your spine \/ You and I intertwine \/ You made me human \/ Stay with me \/ You will be \/ The one I love the most\u00bb.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Spine<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0MYRKUR<\/strong>\u00a0unravels the next chapter in the personal mythology of Amalie Bruun, and sets a new course for the enigmatic band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
