MYRKUR (Amalie Bruun) returns with her highly anticipated new album, Spine! The new album is a tour-de-force, amalgamating some of the most exciting, innovative, and genre-defying moments from MYRKUR's catalog into something that is haunting, extreme, and brilliant as ever. Spine lays MYRKUR bare, at her most raw and unwavering, and is undoubtedly one of the year's most ambitious and cinematic albums. Spine relates to MYRKUR's personal mythology. Written during one of the most difficult times in Amalie Bruun's life - Spine is the direct result of her experiences following child birth. From the love and euphoria that comes with motherhood, to the fears of the unknown and the mysteries of the journey ahead, Spine is ultimately an album about seeking balance amidst chaos. To Bruun/MYRKUR, the record explores the very human nature of what it means to be a mother, and finds resonances with Scandinavian mythology to do so. Recorded with Randall Dunn at the Sundlaughin Studio in Iceland (Sigur Rós) - the ebbs and flows in Spine reflect the width and breadth of MYRKUR's emotion. These sonic shifts are represented in music that sees MYRKUR touch upon an array of influences - from undeniable metal as heard on the inimitable "Valkyriernes Sang", to darker sonic territories inspired by folk and haunting vocal passages on "Like Humans''. Elsewhere, the brooding "Mothlike" showcases a new side of MYRKUR's sensibilities, with touches of electronic underpinnings and lush synth orchestrations. Spine's title track proves to be one of the most moving songs of the year, as it transcends through moments of affable, delicate vocal, percussive, and string arrangements to a massive chorus that serves as a thesis statement for the rest of the album. MYRKUR's euphoric outlook is in full display here, as the song proclaims, "My body made your spine / You and I intertwine / You made me human / Stay with me / You will be / The one I love the most". With Spine, MYRKUR unravels the next chapter in the personal mythology of Amalie Bruun, and sets a new course for the enigmatic band. credits

She's uniquely herself. And that's the highest compliment I could give. I love her

Interesting...sounds like dream pop/shoegaze with a backbone of metal. That chorus is insanely beautiful, I can see this recorded with just bass and distorted/ethereal guitar rhythms, much with the same effect...maybe even better. She's never doing the same thing twice, which is really cool.

Song is full of ancient spirits and feelings of nordic atmosphere 🤘

What an etheric, beautiful composition; lyrically, emotionally and tonally....

Did not expect the blastbeats during the final chorus, great song! Looking forward to this record!

While no were near as heavy as hear early works its still a beautiful song but I do miss the haunting banshee screams.

Magical and dark. I love it.

Yes! This is some dark, good stuff. I loved the surprising batshit blast beat section as well

I remember the first time I listened to Myrkur. I really liked it but I can recall the whole drama about her. Close minded people speaking about her not belonging to metal etc. Im glad she has proved to be a very creative composer and an unique sound. Loving this album.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Hope there's something a bit heavier on the new record too but honestly I love everything she does. Can't wait for the album!

I miss 2017 myrkur but I understand art flow must not stay the same

if it wasn't for the song, Of Blood And Water i would have never hear of her. if it would not because of you tube would be able to here such a beautiful voice and to her music. sorry to be so late in her music

❤ I love everything she's done. I also love that she's not at all afraid to try new ideas and stretch her wings musically. I'll be buying this on vinyl for sure.

She never disappoints. Always killer material

This was a bit of a surprise. To say that I am looking forward to this album would be a major understatement. This is wonderful music in all respects.

First time hearing MYRKUR. She sounds like a heavier version of Enya, which is fantastic IMO

It’s been interesting reading comments here as Relapse expands it’s catalog to a much wider audience 🧐🙀

Under the sun Under the new religion I'm having fun And I want to die I am a ghost I am the most familiar nowhere Will you stay with me Talk to me like humans do Everyone stays away This song is made for you Even if I'm the same In December, until I remember Talk to me like humans do Am I the only one Under the sun Ice cold and no reaction We're having fun I'm reaching out for you I am a ghost I am the most familiar nowhere Will you stay with me Talk to me like humans do Everyone stays away This song is made for you Even if I'm the same In December, until I remember Talk to me like humans do Am I the only one Talk to me like humans do Everyone stays away This song is made for you Even if I'm the same In December, until I remember Talk to me like humans do Am I the only one

Love this song! She's such a great songwriter. Whatever style of music she decide to do it end up sounding amazing! ❤

Channeling beauty through sound waves, sounds like a mermaid.

wish the guitars and drums were louder in the mix, but otherwise a great song IMO and I am glad she added some of the old sound to create something new and awesome!

That was amazing, loved every second. Thank you myrkur for brightening up my day

As always, Mrykur delivers another side of infinite possibilities. Love this track and as a long term fan, enjoying the development and change in every album.

One of her most beautiful songs to date

My heart was touched by this song! :)

I am in love with the chorus. She builds tension by varying the endings, perfectly releasing at the end. And the melody is catchy and pleasant. I have checked out a couple of her other recent songs, and has returned to this one. She masterfully controls the sound.

Wonderful, looking forward to the album.

Excellent. Looking forward to the new record. Some 90s ethereal / goth vibes on this track.

3:20 You must see finnish Juhannus! Happiness and no stress!

As oldschool fan I really love this stuff. When raw metal + pop its really good

Beautiful music. Very moving.👍

Myrkur is back with an absolute banger! Oh my god, I can't wait for this new album

Amazing as always.

Adoro a Myrkur 🤟🏻🌿

I really enjoyed her last album and I’m loving this as well excellent job Myrkur I’m picking up this album for sure

You are true Lady of the North. Great performance, music and ofc voice.

Solid track, hope you encorporate screams again too, love the dynamic!

3:47 hits really hard

Ethereal wave Myrkur > blackgaze Myrkur.

Great song,can't wait for the album!

Fantastic, epic song! And beautiful videoclip! The sounds reminds me Sirenia a bit, which is very good.

The voice melody in the beginning reminds me to Nirvana a little bit. Don't come for me xD

Beautiful Amalie❤

Beautiful video and pretty vocals🖤 thanks for this Mykur

Wooooow😯. What a beautiful piece of art! Listening to Myrkur since the beginning and I love the way, how the sound developes😍. Beautiful and alos not forgetting the dark roots, where it came from. THANK YOU, for this song, this made my day! Looking forward to the whole album :)

Vilken kvinna! Bra låt!

i love MYRKUR , greetings from brazil

Absolutely brilliant, she's so unique and a talented song writer and that voice, oh my God🖤🖤🖤

This is super cool. It sounds like what it would be like if Paula Cole started a metal band.

Beautiful work,cheers from Argentina.

Again awesome song. All Myrkur songs are awesome.

This new album is 🔥🔥🖤🖤 Love from El Paso Texas USA🎶🎶

Magnificent!!!

I can't wait to hear the entire collection of songs. When pulled out, singles can be deceiving. I really hope that I am patient enough and that his warrants a tour to the US.

Just when I thought it's going to be a "light doom" song all the way, the part at 3:46 blasts in. Damn amazing! Honestly was expecting this kind of sound considering your latest work and collaborations. Can't wait to hear the whole album! Go Amalie! 🔥🔥

So beautiful

This would sound great at Twin Peaks' Roadhouse. How do I know this? It was revealed to me in a dream.

Oh very nice, hard and soft at the same time...Very unique!

What a nice song for a trip in a forest while smoking some weed and drinking beer

Brilliant.

superb

Wow, just wow again! Can't wait for the album (preordered already) :)

❤relapse rec, music and voice💣

Grymt bra låt!!! 🙌🏻 Jag ser fram emot hela skivan!

I love how they basically infused the cranberries and doom I love both so I’m gonna add this to my playlists 🤘🏼

Black metal❤❤❤

Her voice reminds me a LOT of Claudia's (Angelzoom). I cannot wait for this!

This is better than black-metal project.

Impressed! Been a fan since first EP and I'm very glad, that you continue to evolve your sound. Can't wait to hear the full album🔥 Greetings from Ukraine!

It's like Dark Enya ❤

Loving this record! Absolutely beautiful... I even get Mazzy Star/Madonna vibes here or there.

Tak til p6 beat for at i spiller dette nummer

Wow, this is so good,

Awesome

It's like black metal Goldfrapp and I love it.

I really like this

Amazing song ! ❤

Holy shit this is beautiful

Beautiful 😍

Perfect!!!

so it's a dream pop song (with blast beats) and rhyming remember and december there? hahaha, love it

She's one imponous looking human being 😮

Amazing ! ❤

Nice, reminds me of the first albums from LEAVES EYES.

sounds so much like the cranberries its so good :)))))))

Great.

Sweet Powerfull voice. I like so much

mix (sound) very strange with the blast-drums....

Magnifique 😍🇫🇷

Drummer: I'm not playing on this track unless there's blast beats.

I finally started to listen to heavier metal generes and Myrkur starts creating something much lighter than in the past :(

Me encanta...... mas enamorada de esa voz, gracias por esta bella novedad de trabajo.

And all the people at the gym.... Looked alot like... This... -G

sounds basically like she slapped the chorus from Madonnas - Like a Prayer and the verse riff from Turbonegro - I got Erection together with some minor twaeks and called it a day.

I expected something heavier and darker, but that's great too.

I like! :)

it has captured my attention and if it lets go, it may be in spina bifida.HiGh nOte.

Envolvente, lleno de sugerencias... tema bien hermoso para esta hora de la tarde.
