Some songs carry a spark that lets you know from the very beginning – this one is meant to be something greater. Shimmer was born the moment a simple chord progression met a random plonk in my work pattern. When I shared it in our Discord, it already felt like something bigger was unfolding.

Grant instantly connected, telling me: “I can hear myself singing to that.” My answer was simple: “I’m not going to stop you, my friend.” I sketched out a rough mix idea and then left for a work conference in the stunning landscapes of Sorsele, up on the mountain of Nalovardo.

Listening to my mix idea of Shimmer on repeat against those endless horizons was an experience beyond words. We even stumbled upon a bear during one of our hikes. That whole weekend, the mountain imprinted its essence into me – the air, the silence, the raw presence of nature. One of the photos taken at the very top of Nalovardo now accompanies this release, forever tying the music to that place. When I got back home on Sunday, I knew exactly what to do: capture that feeling and weave it into the track. I even layered in some of my recordings from the trip.

That evening, Grant’s vocal files arrived. At first, I hesitated – his take brought Shimmer into an entirely new space. I let it rest overnight. The next morning, hearing it again, I realized it was exactly where the song needed to go. Something was still missing, though. It finally struck me: Shimmer had to carry the soul of Nalovardo – the echoes of me humming while walking those trails, and even the memory of a Sami guide trying to teach us consultants how to joik.

This is not just another track. It’s a journey born from serendipity, friendship, mountains, and moments you can’t plan for. And while this version carries Grant’s voice into the cosmos, Shimmer also has a second life waiting. The instrumental – shimmering in its own light – will be revealed at a later time.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a lift of, I present to you Shimmer.
