Ulver just released a new single today called “A City In The Skies.” On the band’s official Twitter page, the group revealed that they wrote the song as a message about the violence and war that is currently happening, commenting, “We are on the road to destruction.” 

Ulver’s lyrics “in a garden of green, cascading streams, a thousand little screens” are very emotional and evocative given the violence happening around the world. This song reminds people of what it is like losing a loved one as well as the death and destruction that comes from war. 

The song starts off with a hard instrumental with a little bit of violin mixed in alongside some bass. The song is also a powerful message because of how it pertains to what is happening in the world. In Ulver’s new song “A City In The Skies,” the group mentions in the lyrics “What is going on, All the little children, Have gone insane.” This lyric in particular is about what all of the children in the countries that are at war right now are feeling, sad and upset. 

Ulver’s new single reflects on the current violence and unrest. The song is also a reflection of people seeing that there’s a glimmer of hope.

Ulver’s previous single “Ghost Entry” was released late last year alongside a remix by Autechure. Recently back in December, the group re-released their 1993 demo Vargnatt.
