Freyr

The rising sun signals the start of the morning, while the setting sun precedes the onset of the evening. We clearly see the difference between the day and the night. Allowing you to hear this dichotomy, Scandinavian alternative folk artist Freyr sonically draws a dividing line through these two extremes in the upcoming releases.

Following the success of singles such as “Over My Head,” “I’m Sorry,” and “I’m Here,” he unveiled his full-length debut, Nicotine Bunker, in 2021. It generated millions of streams across highlights such as “Surveilling The Sky,” “Departure,” and “Nicotine Bunker” as he earned praise from the likes of The Revue and We All Want Someone To Shout For.

During 2022, he traded Sweden for Germany. Living out of various Airbnbs for nearly five weeks, he conjured up initial ideas on his laptop in a state of perpetual motion physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

To capture the energy of this season, he decamped to Altea on the coast of Valencia in Spain. Working out of the Farkosten studio, he recorded with producer Mattias Eklund [Devin Townsend, Lisa Miskovsky] during a handful of sessions.
