'Villiniborg' is the lead single of Knút's upcoming fourth album and his first single release in eight years.

Knút (Knút Háberg Eysturstein) is an established musician, songwriter and singer on the Faroese music scene. He has composed, performed and released music since the turn of the millennium and his upcoming fourth album is underway.

Keywords in describing Knút’s new music are uplift, togetherness, modern, psychedelic, gospel, big, spacious, dynamic, intimate and heartfelt. In keeping with the conviction that the most interesting music is made from the melding of different inputs, Knút draws inspiration from a wide variety of styles and genres.

The upcoming album is produced by Knút in collaboration with Benjamin Petersen (Son of Fortune) and the band consisting of Torleik Mortensen (bass), Per Ingvaldur H. Petersen (drums) and Mattias Kapnas (keys).

Through the years Knút has toured and recorded with bands and artists such as Gestir, Marius, Petur Pólson, AVE, Tuxedo Rebels, Konni Kass, Svartmálm and Hogni. Knút has previously released three albums on Tutl (Havsglóð 2004, The Desert Holds A Flower 2009, On High 2013).

“To me, music has always been about transcendence. It’s always been my way out.” Going way back, fast forward.

On ‘Villiniborg':

Lead single ‘Villiniborg’ was the last song to be written for the upcoming album. After finishing songwriting Knút took stock of the song selection;

“I had all these songs on paper in front of me and spread them out on a table. Sitting there looking at the pieces of paper I realised there was a piece missing in the puzzle. An uplifting tune to balance out the others which could also be the lead single. It became this song, ‘Villiniborg’ which means “labyrinth” or “maze” in Faroese.

The germ of this tune came to me many years ago but the lyrics came fast. Its amazing to think that this idea that has been in the back of my mind for so long became the last piece of my upcoming album. Kind of a cathartic feeling. Sometimes you just need the right context for an idea to properly materialise.

It can take a long time to find the right words and know what you want to say. In today's digital and hypervisual world it is easy to forget how the unseen, the unheard and the unconscious is enmeshed in the human condition. Everyone is on a journey, but in the end we all journey on our own.

These are some of the things this song deals with. As well as other things, but they’re best understood by listening."

He Is The Voice I Hear’ is my first all new work since “Lady Of Sorrows.” It’s been a long journey from there to here. I’m so thrilled to continue the story and finally realize my dream of bringing together an ensemble of live musicians.

This record was a joy to create with my engineering and production partner, Rupert Murray, Davide Rossi on strings and Christoforo LaBarbera on keys. The vinyl was mastered and cut by Tim Xavier for Manmade Mastering.  We’ve also put some special touches into the design of the record itself. 

Incredible thanks to Adam Rowe, Andrew Gordon, Jake Nelson and everyone that helped make this record possible at all.
