Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik (thanks Train)

Maybe they don't need their own thread, but why not?  I didn't find one.

A long time ago at this point, Train of Naught sent me a track from this project (Skuggsjá) in my roulette.  I really liked it, but long story short, I'm slow to check out stuff and covid added to that.

Anyway, earlier this year I decided to finally finish watching Vikings, and it reminded me of this project - Einar Selvik at least was involved with the soundtrack and Skuggsjá reminded me a lot of the show.  I decided to buy their catalog this weekend and it's really really good stuff. 

Listening to the two full length albums back to back is quite the experience.  Skuggsjá (the album) is really intense most of the way through.  It's its own kind of heavy and you feel kind of on edge, but not in a bad way.  Then the next album, Hugsjá, has some really intense moments as well but it lets up a bit, and there are some really beautiful moments that feel really sad and yet uplifting and actually brought tears to my eyes.

So thanks Train for introducing me to this stuff.
