October 10, 2025, the long-awaited second album “Dreams and Conjurations” will be released. Expect the unexpected and lean into a musical odyssey that conjures sounds of the netherworlds and intertwines old primordial knowledge with avant-garde pop music, screaming metal, folk music and immersive electronic soundscapes; From the beautiful and haunting ambient landscapes of “Windharp”, the Norwegian folk dance inspired track “Hallingen”, the self-collected ghost stories which inspired “Kwaidan”, the genuine joyfulness of “Whispering Forest, Echoing Mountains” and “The Ritual” – a song inspired by a raw shamanistic ritual that Sturle once found himself engaged in.
Armed with a brigade of instruments the two multiinstrumentalists are utilizing a wide array of different melodic instruments; including Nordic folk instruments like Nyckelharpa and goat horns, to Chinese Guzheng, West-African Kora, Marxophone, Fula flute, Hungarian Cimbalom, Waterphone and dozens of different folk instruments that they have gathered during their travels. The soundscape is pushed further blending them with distorted imperfect sounds, synthesizers and custom made electronics.
