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.

Vi går de samme gatan
Passer de samme tingan
Spis av den samme kaka
Plassert av samme tida
Men vi ekke lagd av samme materie
Din verden eksister ikke for mæ
Og det du ser på som det samme og evige
Det resonner ikke i mæ

Æ kjenn det ikke
Og hvis du plutseli tennes
Kan noe fort gå i lufta
Så kan vi to hold hender
Og se at sorgen fordufta
Det tok ei stund men det va lætt å lær
At verden retta sæ etter dæ
Vi ekke lagd av samme materie
Din verden eksister ikke for mæ
Og det du ser på som det samme og evige
Det resonner ikke i mæ
Æ kjenn det ikke
Vi ekke lagd av samme materie
Din verden eksister ikke for mæ
Og det du ser på som det samme og evige

Det resonner ikke i mæ
Æ kjenn det ikke

Overall Meaning

In Kråkesølv's song "Det resonner ikke i mæ," the lyrics reflect on the differences between two individuals in terms of their perception of the world. The song starts by mentioning that they walk on the same street and see the same things, but they are not made of the same material, indicating that they have different personalities and attitudes towards life. The singer then emphasizes that the other person's world does not exist for them, and the concept of sameness and eternity does not resonate with them.

The chorus repeats this sentiment, stating that the singer cannot relate to the other person's perception of sameness and eternity. However, the lyrics also suggest that the two can find common ground if they hold hands and watch their sorrow disappear, indicating that they can still connect despite their fundamental differences. The lyrics come full circle as the singer acknowledges that they have learned that the world "rectifies" itself according to the other person's will, highlighting that the differences between the two continue to exist.
