Lysbærer

"Nanna Barslev formår med dette album at skabe en fortryllende atmosfære, hvor man roligt kan komme ind i meditativ trance ... Instrumenterne, fuglekvidder og sprogskiftet mellem dansk og norrønt (oldnordisk) etc. skaber det helt rette element for genfortælling og genindlevelse af vikingetiden. Nanna har både talent og erfaring, og med dette album har hun formået at komponere en mesterlig genfortælling".

"Barslev is an experienced performer in the realms of dark folk and Nordic atmospheric since the early 1990s and more regularly known as the front woman in Huldre, Asynje, Gny and Ættir. Nanna's voice and musicianship is solid and shines throughout. Interpreting Nordic folklore is one of Barslev's signatures, and she does this through applying a range of vocal techniques. The instruments include a variety of traditional harps, with the bodhrán and flute, supported with a guest appearance from Dutch musician Lies Sommer on the hurdygurdy and harp. Maybe this expressive soul searching album is representative of Barslev's own musical journey from dark and heavy towards the light?".
