Spouses is the songwriting project of Iceland based musician/engineer/photographer Joel Durksen. A nomad both creatively and literally, originally born in Canada, he spent his formative years in the Caribbean, then cutting his teeth in Liverpool, UK scene and finally settling on a remote horse-breeding farm in Iceland. While in Liverpool he played with Brad Stank, Two Blinks I Love You, and A Burial At Sea to name a few. ‘I spent a lot of time in a supporting role, I had to cut all that out in isolation to really work on my own songs.’ In true Neil Young fashion he set up a recording studio in a stable, dubbed Kálfholt Studios, writing and recording songs shaped by isolation, reinvention, and the desire to create without compromise.

Eithreog is a type of wild berry, somewhere between a raspberry and a blackberry. Fásann sé ar dhumhcha liatha. It grows on grey dunes. Eithreog grows white flowers in March and April, and is thought of as a beneficial weed, growing mostly in costal communities.   

Eithreog’s music takes from the land a feeling of groundedness in nature; a certain reliance on the outside world for inspiration, sample material, and aesthetics is at the core of this musical work / sound practice.   

While existing in the cultural context of the digital proliferation of music and the online space, the music itself wishes to instil a feeling of realness, rawness, and a closeness to nature, and hopefully serves to carry whomever is listening to a quiescent headspace.
