Norwegian progressive rock band Tusmørke is re-inventing itself on its 13th album, Balderdom, set to be released on March the 20th. The first sample of the new album is the track “Svensk Drøm.”
The band shared this about the song: “Miraculously, we are all here at the same time. What are the odds? Considering the vastness of time and space, the chances of us meeting are minuscule, yet here we are. I dreamt I was back at Fryk Out in Sweden, and we were singing this song around the bonfire. Maybe the trees and the sighing wind made the music. All I had to do was wake up and record it. This is an ode to togetherness and friendship.
“The four songs on side A came about in November 2022 for a winter solstice celebration at Oslo Badstuforening. Our take on this was that the solstice invites reflections on the relationship between night and day. Does the day spring out of the darkness of the preceding night or does the night follow and swallow the light of the day? Is it Saturday Night or Sunday Morning? Are we running from the past or catching up with the future? Moving from A to B, Lidskjalv has existed as a demo since the 90s. Many versions have been made, but this is the first proper recording of the song.”
