Silvurdrongur releases new singles 'Brúðardrongur + Traðardrongur', from forthcoming album "nú æt eg eftir ánni"

Faroese multidisciplinary artist and driving force behind critically acclaimed band AGGRASOPPAR, Silvurdrongur, is releasing today the two last singles from his forthcoming new album ‘nú æt eg eftir ánni’ (out on July 19th), “Brúðardrongur Traðardrongur” (Wedding Boy Stone Carrier Boy).

Brúðardrongur (Wedding Boy) is a hip-hop anthem about growing up in a very particular place in Tórshavn named Undir Brúnni (Under the Bridge, literally), where a half-built bridge has been plaguing the otherwise lovely nature in the area for more than two decades. Incidentally, this is the same place where the album was recorded. The bridge is now being completed, and the home of producer, Ayphin, is going to be demolished for the building of the new highway. Full circle.

Traðardrongur (Stone Carrier Boy) is a hypnotic club banger about the forested park in Tórshavn during night-time when the witch of the woods is out to get you. It’s not a place you want to be for more than a few seconds. The starkly alien sounds of the music inspire new genre definitions such as Haunted House, Extinction Punk, and Doomer Pop.

Silvurdrongur (Silver boy) made his debut in 2018 with the album Silvurpláta (Silver album) which was released in unison with the poetry collection Silvurbók (Silver book) and the short film 111 góðir dagar (111 good days). The multi-release harvested a host of awards: A Faroese Music Awards title for Best New Act, a Geytin Short Film Award for Best Short, and a Ebbu Hentze Award to gifted young writers.

Since then, Silvurdrongur has released six singles, including collaborations with Eivør and GFD Collective.

Now he is ready with his next album: “nú æt eg eftir ánni” (now I was named after the river). It promises to be a strange and inspiring journey through alien soundscapes with unexpected combinations of genres and themes. It is constructed like a fairy tale with a dangerous trip along the river in the dark Faroese forest, all told in one of the world’s smallest languages.
