Yesterday, October 16th marked the release of Tungl, the first studio album by Faroese artist Eivør. As part of that release, a video was also shared for the track “Og Mánin Græt / And The Moon Cried.” The video, directed by Gwenaël Akira, can be found on Eivor and Nuclear Blast Records’ YouTube channels.
The video features Eivor cast in moody blue lighting, often the subject of strange video glitches and artifacts as she sings the track in her native tongue.
“The song is about a faint memory that still lingers, almost like a dream,” Eivor said in a press release. “I remember looking up at the moon in the dark sky when I was little, wondering why it always looked so sad. I would imagine all sorts of reasons, and my imagination would just wander off. The music video for this track was created by the incredible Gwenaël Akira. I just love how he understands my music in such a visual way and how he manages to capture the raw emotions, nature and a distorted dream like reality that captures the essence of this song beautifully.”
“Og Mánin Græt / And The Moon Cried” is the opening track to Tungl, the first of ten songs on the album. The album promises to see Eivor reach further into elemental realms than ever before, and covers themes of navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation.
