Sólstrauman – Kvitevind (2024)

Hi guys! I have a fresh composition for you. I think this one has pretty night vibes. Recently I already posted this artist here btw, check out this link: Sólstrauman – Vinterelva. This time here is her fresh song called “Kvitevind”. Let’s check it out together!

I can say that this song sounds like a slow immersion into the deep (even bottomless) cold water. The ambient / drone / electronic arrangement creates a stable and deep cinematic background for the emotional vocal part. That voice makes me feel comfortable in the darkness of this song.

Of course, it’s all only my subjective perception. Maybe this stuff sounds light and fun for somebody. But I strongly feel that deep, almost existential sadness in this track. I don’t even need to read the lyrics to understand it with each cell of my body. Just a wonderful work in my opinion. Totally love it,

A bit more info about the track:
“Kvitevind” is the title track of Sólstrauman’s upcoming debut album, and a collaboration with artist/producer Signe Dø on production and arrangement. The ambient alt-pop track is melancholic, atmospheric and ethereal. Sólstrauman’s dream-like voice is accompanied by organic soundscapes, ambient guitars and clarinets, celestial vocal harmonies and a subtle, smoldering kick drum beat. The title translates to ‘white wind’, sending the listener on a aerial journey through cold, cloudy landscapes.

Well, that’s all for this point 🙂 Thanks for listening / reading. Enjoy the music and stand with Ukraine! Peace <3



LYRICS

I can't fly
when I'm homelessly
bound
to the roots
of a tree
that is grounded
the wind is white
the wind is white
homelessly bound
to the roots of a tree
that is grounded
I long
for white wind
though I am grounded
I still yearn to breathe
your presence
gracefully bound
to the roots of a tree
that is grounded
I too am grounded
and the wind is white
and the wind is white
I can't fly
when I'm homelessly
bound
to the roots
of a tree
grounded
homelessly bound
to the roots of a tree
that is grounded
I long
for white wind
though I am grounded
I still yearn to breathe
your presence
gracefully bound
to the roots of a tree
that is grounded
I too am grounded
and the wind is white
without my home
to whom I am bound
I can't fly
gracefully grounded
home
I fly
with Kvitevind
