Konradsen announce new album 'Hunt, Gather' out 27 March + enlist Angie McMahon for new single

Northern Norwegian duo Konradsen - the project of Jenny Marie Sabel and Eirik Vildgren - have announced their new album ‘Hunt, Gather’, due for release on 27th March via Norwegian independent label 777 Music. Alongside the announcement, they share new single ‘What I Aim For’, featuring Australian singer-songwriter Angie McMahon.

Blending cool, house-leaning electronic drums with Konradsen’s hushed, wide-screen indie-folk, 'What I Aim For’ pairs Sabel's intimate delivery with Angie McMahon’s breathy, close-up vocal, complemented by luminous piano contributions from Grammy-winning US songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby.

The song centres on making space for calm, trust and connection amid the constant noise of everyday life. A reminder to pause, zoom out and recalibrate when life feels overwhelming, inspired by the idea of home as a place where one can gather strength and feel safe.

On the track's release, Angie McMahon said:

“Last time I was writing a record, I listened to 'Baby Hallelujah' by Konradsen on repeat. Now, a couple of years down the line, they’re my friends. I got to hear their music on tour many nights in a row, and now I love it even more. I wear Konradsen merch on my head half the time. So while I’m now making my next record, they sent me the one they’re making and offered to let me sing on one of their songs. The highest honour! This song makes me feel tapped into some deeper realm of inner peace which is only accessible through good music. I’m so proud of my friends.“

The release is accompanied by a new interlude from the album 'Jona' - a sound collage built from everyday recordings at Jenny’s home in Hatteng - wind, distant noise, the rooster, and the voice of her son, with Bruce Hornsby’s improvised piano binding these fragments into a fleeting, intimate moment.

'What I Aim For' marks the third taste of Konradsen's new album, following the soulful and surprising ‘Efficiency’ (feat. Beharie) and the spacious 'Nick of Time' (feat. Gia Margaret) - songs pulled from a period of reflection and shifting priorities, pointing toward a body of work concerned with choosing closeness, protecting relationships and asking difficult questions about the lives we build.

Konradsen's music treats everyday detail with cinematic patience - folding observations, overheard voices and small domestic details into arrangements that feel intentional without ever sounding forced.

Jenny Marie Sabel’s voice carries a rare steadiness, able to hold intimacy without tipping into sentimentality, while Eirik Vildgren frames their work with production that feels tactile and curious. Across their discography to date, they’ve built a space where emotional clarity and understated production can sit side by side, creating songs that stay close to the body while thinking far beyond it.

Konradsen's debut album 'Saints and Sebastian Stories' (Cascine, 2019) won a Norwegian Grammy and praise from the likes of Pitchfork and The FADER. Their second album 'Michael’s Book on Bears' (777 Music, 2024) saw them re-emerge with a deeper sense of place and perspective — described by Stereogum as “tender, soulful”. 2024 also saw Konradsen work with Brazilian dance producers Gabriel Guerra and Lucas de Paiva, along with Bruce Hornsby on collaborative album 'Contrahouse' - a beguiling project blurring lines between leftfield dance, indie-pop and jazz. In the intervening months, Konradsen embarked on tour across Europe with Angie McMahon, sold-out Parkteatret in Oslo, with further headline shows in London and a slot at Pitchfork Paris.

Konradsen's new album 'Hunt, Gather' is out 27th March via 777 Music. Konradsen play a special show at MUNCH in Oslo on 10th April - tickets on sale here. New single 'What I Aim For' is out now.
