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.
Sjalusien som driv dæ
Kråkesølv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Kan godt vær kreativ
Æ Ana ikke ka æ vil men æ føl æ e i fint driv
Å dagan går sin vante gang
Æ Jakta med så godt æ kan
I selskap med de samme gamle følelsan
Som æ for lengst sku ha jaga på dør
Si mæ e det sjalusien som driv dæ
Selv om vind alltid har blåst din vei
E det selve medlidenheten som gir dæ
Retning og meining til tross for at alt e okei
Det virka jævli enkelt I angrepsposisjon
Æ Tenk at det æ hold på med e en knotat å lang digressjon
Men æ har fortsatt noen tanka som må ut å en ironisk distanse stod ut
I selskap med de samme gamle følelsan
Som æ for lengt sku ha jaga på dør
Æ Syns æ kan hør noen spør
Si mæ e det sjalusien som driv dæ
Selv om vind alltid har blåst din vei
E det selve medlidenheta som gir dæ
Retning å meining til tross for at alt e okei
E det sjalusien som driv dæ
In the lyrics to Kråkesølv's song "Sjalusien som driv dæ," the singer explores the complexities of jealousy and how it can drive a person's emotions. The song starts by acknowledging that confusion can sometimes fuel creativity. The singer admits to not knowing what they want but feeling like they are in a good rhythm, going about their daily life and trying their best. They mention being surrounded by familiar old emotions that they should have let go of a long time ago.
The lyrics suggest a sense of self-awareness and reflection as the singer questions whether jealousy is what is driving them. Despite feeling like the wind always blows in someone else's favor, they wonder if it is actually a sense of empathy or pity towards others that gives them direction and purpose, even when everything seems fine on the surface. The singer contemplates the simplicity of attacking or confronting these emotions but acknowledges that their thoughts require expression and a certain level of ironic detachment.
The repetition of being in the company of the same old feelings that should have been pushed away indicates a struggle with moving on from past emotional baggage. The singer hears someone questioning if it is jealousy that is propelling them forward, despite others seemingly always having things go their way. They ponder whether it is actually a sense of compassion or empathy that is guiding them, providing clarity and purpose amidst circumstances that appear acceptable on the outside. The internal conflict of whether jealousy is the driving force behind their actions and emotions is central to this introspective and contemplative song.

When I first listened to this, I nearly cried because I finally found a favourite band and genre of music. Over a year later and no one else comes close to challenging my love for Kråkesølv. Best band I've ever listened to.
