Dreams are one of the guiding inspirations on the new album from Norwegian collective Lindy-Fay Hella (Wardruna) & Dei Farne and today they share the new video/track "The Lake" from their forthcoming album Hildring, to be released via By Norse on the 26th of November.
About the meaning of the song, Lindy-Fay comments: "The Lyrics for "The Lake" are taken from one of my cousin Roy's dreams. We have been discussing the dreamworld for many years already. So, to my big surprise, I discovered that [director] Gaui's story for the video also was directly taken from a dream. When eating breakfast at his and Marita's cozy home in Faroe Islands, I asked: "The story for the video is very beautiful, how did you come up with that?" Gaui replied: " Oh well, I dreamt about it. It is just taken from a dream."
This kind of charming synchronicity is very befitting to Lindy-Fay Hella & Dei Farne, who have created a record which celebrates the power of all of our senses and encourages listeners to seek the magic in our surroundings, awakening curiosity and our sense of wonder. Lindy-Fay Hella sounds especially liberated on this record, reconnecting to a childhood passion for synths, and her love of "Black Celebration" by Depeche Mode, attributing her vocal experimentation to Dave Gahan's wide-ranging style. Lindy-Fay Hella also draws powerful inspiration also from traditional Joik singing, unique to the Sámi people of Northern Europe. Lindy-Fay honours her great-grandmother and other Sámi people who suffered injustice when this traditional form was condemned. Harnessing her vocal power is not necessarily about choosing the right words, rather following specific feelings and utilising the voice as an instrument.
Hildring is Lindy-Fay Hella's second album, following the release of Seafarer in 2019 which was released in her own name. Dei Farne are musicians; Roy Ole Førland and Ingolf Hella Torgersen and with them, Lindy-Fay has found kindred spirits. Check out the brand new video for "The Lake" below, and over HERE you can watch the previously released video for the album title track "Hildring". Link
