With an arresting, neon colored futuristic video which brilliantly juxtaposes the music's straightforwardness and traditional nature, Amalie Bruun's Myrkur comes forth with another single off the coming Folkesange which marks a notable departure from the contemporary black metal sound that established the artist.
Leaves of Yggdrasil is a gentle love song influenced by Nordic mythology, and appearing the closest possible to an old folk tale, while the video's contemporary visuals created by filmmaker Mats Ek make a shocking contrast, further corroborating the timelessness in Myrkur's full on folk facet.
Folkesange comes out March 20th, 2020 on Relapse Records.
