TUSMØRKE – announce new single and album

TUSMØRKE ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM AND SINGLE RELEASE

With several line-up changes and turmoil, Tusmørke is re-inventing themselves on their 13th album, “Balderdom”, set to be released on March the 20th.

The passage of time is the future becoming the present. It moves forward in circles like a rolling wheel. Balder, Osiris and Jesus are all vegetation gods emulating the turn of the seasons in their eternal return. After the death of winter, life emerges anew. But not only this; there is also the promise of each dawn bringing a Better Day. According to Snorre, after the Fimbul Winter and Ragnarok, there is a new Earth. From the ashes emerges a better place. This holds also the idea of progress. It is at the core of being a prog band; each album is an improvement on the last, an exploration of new territory, a different perspective.


The first taste of the new album is the track “Svensk Drøm” which is released today, and can be heard here:

The band has this to say about the song:
Miraculously, we are all here at the same time. What are the odds? Considering the vastness of time and space, the chances of us meeting are minuscule, yet here we are. I dreamt I was back at Fryk Out in Sweden, and we were singing this song around the bonfire. Maybe the trees and the sighing wind made the music. All I had to do was wake up and record it. This is an ode to togetherness and friendship.
 
The four songs on side A came about in November 2022 for a winter solstice celebration at Oslo Badstuforening. Our take on this was that the solstice invites reflections on the relationship between night and day. Does the day spring out of the darkness of the preceding night or does the night follow and swallow the light of the day? Is it Saturday Night or Sunday Morning? Are we running from the past or catching up with the future? Moving from A to B, Lidskjalv has existed as a demo since the 90s. Many versions have been made, but this is the first proper recording of the song.

With cover artwork by Christer Karlstad, the tracklisting for “Balderdom” is as follows:

  1. Svensk Drøm
  2. Balderdom (Tres Joile)
  3. Rerun of Forever (Stravinsky)
  4. Vi er et kollektiv
  5. Lidskjalv
