Sweden's multi-instrumentalist and genre-defying artist Sofia Härdig unveils a new single, "In Silence", a final insight into her upcoming genre-blending album Lighthouse Of Glass, which will be released on 11 April via Bark At Your Owner (part of the CMG Holding and Icons Creating Evil art family).
Opening with delicate acoustic guitar that gradually builds in intensity, "In Silence" showcases Härdig's commanding vocals, delivered with a raw, Patti Smith-esque power that cuts through the instrumentation with visceral force. The track found new life when Härdig rediscovered it in her archives, taking on fresh dimensions through careful layering of instrumentation. A chance encounter after a gig led to the addition of Sara Edin's captivating violin work, adding a new dimension to the track. Sofia Härdig recalls: "Sara saw one of my gigs and came up and said if you need violin just call me. I love her tone and playing. It's bold and beautiful just as her."
In her poetic reflection on the piece, Sofia Härdig describes her obsession with silence as "the breaking point of reality where anything can happen," wrapping listeners in what she calls "a cloak of silence that I can wear like a shroud." Her words evoke silence not as absence, but as a living, breathing entity: "the silence I am breaking apart... where the words sleep. And in that silence we rise...". In this transformative space, silence acts as both refuge and spark - a deep darkness where change begins before bursting into sound.
