“A testomony to the facility of artwork to navigate the soul’s depths and emerge tranquil and complete”: Nordic people artist Kati Rán explores female themes in Norse mythology on long-awaited second album Sála

Kati Rán’s long-anticipated solo album emerges as an enormous musical odyssey that weaves a bewitching array of musical kinds right into a backdrop for exploring the female themes inside Norse mythology. 

Constructing on the epic, oceanic prelude of its 15-minute single, Blodbylgje, Sála’s 13 immersive tracks are underpinned by conventional people instrumentation, lush choral harmonies and even a uncommon lava stone marimba, heard on Stone Pillars – a haunting elegy that options vocals from excessive metallic icon Gaahl and Napalm Dying’s Mitch Harris.
