Swedish act Grift, a dark-folk project by musician Erik Gärdefors, released "Nattens Pilgrim", the debut single from the upcoming album. Grift's new album is entitled Dolt Land and will hit the stores on the 22nd of September via Nordvis Produktion.
Grift's fourth studio album, Dolt Land (Hidden land), is a profound exploration of humankind's bond with nature. With folkloric sounds and heartfelt lyrics, the multidisciplinary Swedish music project takes listeners on a journey into the heart of the wild. "Nattens pilgrim" ('Pilgrim of the night') sets the tone with the call of a blackbird, sampled by Erik Gärdefors himself before enchanting melodies take flight through acoustic guitar, melodica, keyboards, percussion, glockenspiel, and a sea drum.
Erik commented: "This is a hymn to the fragile life pulsating outside our doorstep. Out there, a world of hidden lands sparkles. The blackbird's song reminds us of this treasure every year. To get closer and partake of its richness, we must sacrifice something of ourselves. Only then do we have the chance to don the mantle of the night."
Erik plays all the instruments himself - including acoustic guitar, melodica, glockenspiel, analogue synth, and percussion - and has also sampled nature sounds to create a truly immersive listening experience. Soothing and stirring, yet still feral and untamed; Grift's evocative music will resonate with fans of Sangre de Muerdago, Anna von Hausswolff, and Nebelung.
