With their new album, Brefjære (2023), the sextet has created an oratorio for a world in despair. Brefjære is a Norwegian word for glacial spring.

Spurv (‘sparrow’) wonders what the wind, the birch trees, the butterflies, and the fells are saying to each other.

Embracing nature and geology, the band weaves a musical fabric with the immediacy of folk tunes, the drama of Greek tragedy, and the intricacy of grand compositional music with choirs and strings.

The sensitive post-rock of Spurv desires the imperishable: To become a sonic saga for the ages whilst the ageless ice is melting.
