Swedish nordic-folk one-man act Urferd has unveiled the first single, "Vaka", from the debut album entitled Resan, which will be released on the 22nd of January 2022 via Black Lodge Records. Resan is a musical odyssey in both a literal and figurative sense. The album takes the listener on a journey through the dark and olden nordic forests; where strife and hardships follow in our steps, yet where the beauty and vastness of the solemn nordic landscape persist and permeates. From the album opening’s depiction of a serene morning’s dawn to the closing track’s respite of a hearth at nightfall, Resan traverses a multitude of captivating musical landscapes and themes throughout its eight songs.
The man behind the project, Daniel Beckman, comments: ""Vaka" (vigil) portrays loss, resolution, and perpetuity. The song takes place towards the end of the album, where strife and battles have come and gone. It is a time of mourning, but also reverence - for where one life ends, another will take root. Let "Vaka"'s initial woeful drones immerse you, and drift along its trail unto an eventual cascade of glowing solace and fortitude."
Urferd also released a stunning lyric video for the track "Vaka", it was done by Andrea Mantelli, and you can watch and hear it below. Link
