MYRKUR unfolds the next chapter in his personal mythology about Amalie Bruun and sets a new course for the enigmatic composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. Spine is marked by the birth of MYRKUR's child and was created as a means of making sense out of the storm of emotions that comes in the wake of such a life-changing event. It is an album free from genre limitations. An album that finds new emotional and sonic contours.
Myrkur rejoined producer Randall Dunn at Sigur Rós' Icelandic Sundlaugin studio to negotiate the contrast between the deepest human connection between mother and child and an increasingly separate, alienating world, from pandemic restrictions and isolation to the rise of artificial intelligence. But although the claustrophobia of the lockdown has left its mark on the album, musically it is also Myrkur's most open to date - Bruun's pristine clear vocals act as a hypersensitive barometer, finely attuned to states where bliss, anxiety, sorrow, intimacy and psychological wanderlust coexist.
