The Skywriter

The Skywriter EP is a collection of songs Morfar has been tinkering with for the last three years. On this record he has used glockenspiel, melodica and old dusty Casio keyboards - in addition to the laptop. Against all odds he stands up and, in the face of his nightmares from Nidaros Cathedral; he sings - on every track. The result ends up somewhere between the naive and catchy electronica of 'Kim Hiorthøy', the Northern soundscape of 'Mùm' and at times the distant voice of 'Khonnor'. His own inspiration, meanwhile, comes from bands like 'Mogwai', 'Godspeed You Black Emperor' and 'The Cure'. Even though a laptop may be the most important element of his music, Morfar has crafted an organic and natural-sounding EP for the forthcoming days of spring. It contains 7 tracks, 6 of them originals by Morfar, the last one being a remix by 'Kjempetjukk Bussjåfør', courtesy of Healthy Boy Records in Bergen.
