According to THERP, Ulver debuted their new song “The Red Light” among a series of new expanded singles released. Fans wait for the release of one more single before they collect into one new album.
Some of the singles released by Ulver include ‘Locusts’ and ‘Nocturne #2’ which were released with the announcement of the upcoming album.
The experimental “The Red Light” has apocalyptic lyrics implying the end of the world. Ulver continues their trend of synthpop with this new single.
In July, Kyrstoffer Rygg of Ulver was featured on Carpenter Brut’s cover of Billy Idol’s song “Eyes Without Face.” The artists kept Billy Idol’s base tempo, but added their own touches of synthpop to create a more surreal sound.
Ulver also released a new single in July “Hollywood Babylon.” The electronic song also featured Ulver’s unique touch of synth while mixing in a rock tempo to the song. The beautiful mix of electronic, synth and rock makes it easy to understand while Ulver’s last single is highly anticipated.
Earlier this year Ulver’s pianist passed away, Tore Ylwizaker, at age 54 shortly after the release of ‘Locusts’ and ‘Nocturne #2’. Ulver stated that “Church is our music” and they will continue the release of singles despite the death of their pianist when they announce the two songs.
