Rock music, Norwegian lyrics, and great songs and choruses. These are keywords you have heard being used about the band previously, but now they are releasing their fifth album and it is time to do something different.

The title track «Pangea» - the first single from their upcoming album - shows a band who can still write anthems in Norwegian, and that easily can play at both big festival stages and at small village parties.

Kråkesølv’s music is still anchored in two guitars, bass, drums and lyrics written in their own dialect. But this time they have forced themselves to paint with a broader brush. «Pangea» shows a band challenging staid frameworks, and they are moving into landscapes that bands like Dungen and Radiohead have plowed before. But, as always, Kråkesølv land safely on their own Northern Norwegian feet.

The reason why Kråkesølv now are taking a different direction than before, is mainly due to their producer, Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist, Susanne Sundfør). In addition to producing, he has contributed in many ways, with giving good advice, with being a motivator and with playing instruments like piano, mellotron and vibraphone. Throughout the entire recording process, Horntveth has also been offering them fresh coffee and fiery cheers.

Their lyrics have the same melancholy character that has coloured Kråkesølv’s universe since their debut album, and they continue to make connections between interpersonal and universal matters.

Æ Vet alt e gjensidig
Men det e mørkt og æ e trøtt
Og æ må æ må gå
Før det blir førr tidlig

Æ Træng en ny forklaring
Det e så kaldt og alt e over overalt
Vinden snur ka du trur

E du mi åpenbaring (tørr du nu å se ka æ kan gi me mæ og mine)
Blåe øya mot horisonten
Sjæla øka akterut

Livet mitt har vendt mæ fronten
Æ E ikke syk
Det bare kjennes sånn ut

Ka så om livet svinna
Og blir et spørsmål ingen spør
Æ Har jo gamle minna
Men æ vet ikke om æ tørr (tørr du nu å se ka æ kan gi me mæ og mine)
Blåe øya mot horisonten
Sjæla øka akterut

Livet mitt har vendt mæ fronten

Æ E ikke syk
Det bare kjennes sånn ut

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kråkesølv's song "Blåe Øya" are introspective and contemplative, expressing feelings of weariness and the need for a new explanation or understanding. The singer acknowledges that everything is reciprocal, but it feels dark and they are tired, prompting them to leave before it becomes too early. They long for a new explanation or perspective, as everything feels cold and overwhelming. They wonder if the wind will change, possibly symbolizing a shift in their life, and if the person they address can be their revelation, wondering if they dare to see what the singer can offer with themselves and their loved ones.

The chorus speaks of the blue eyes towards the horizon and the soul moving backwards. It implies a sense of longing, as if the singer's life has turned around, but they reassure that they are not sick, it just feels that way. The song captures a sense of melancholy and seeking for understanding while acknowledging the ever-changing nature of life.
