nú æt eg Spælidrongur / Shamandrongur

English: This is the second set of singles from the upcoming album “nú æt eg eftir ánni” (now I was named after the river) by Faroese multi-artist Silvurdrongur, performed entirely in one of the world’s smallest languages.

These two, Spælidrongur and Shamandrongur (Game Kid and Shaman Kid), are both dance/club oriented, but in quite a different way. Spælidrongur has a brainmeltingly fresh synth mixed with watery drums and shouting vocals about “my God sings / my God plays / my God dances”,  while Shamandrongur is earthly with a steady beat that explodes into two seperate crescendos – with a lot of lyrics in different styles of singing and rapping.

“Now I was named after the river” is a poetic and symbolic throughline in the album, as all the song titles refer to different names of creatures that reside by the river, the first ones being Sóljudrongur and Miðjørðdrongur, now with Spælidrongur and Shamandrongur added to the mix.

The starkly alien sounds of the music inspire new genre definitions such as Extinction Punk, Doomer Pop, Haunted House, and Art Rap.

Føroyskt: Hesi bæði løgini eru bæði dansivinarlig og klubbut í stíli, hóast tey eru heilt hvør sítt lag. Spælidrongur nýtir heilabráðnandi synthljóð og vatntrummur, sum byggja upp eitt sterkt klimaks, meðan róputi vokalurin snýr seg um ein spælandi, rennandi, syngjandi og dansandi Guð. Shamandrongur er meira jarðbundin við tí støðuga beatinum og grønlendska sangaranum, sum stuðlar uppundir. Tó fer lagið sanniliga eisini á flog, meir enn so, í tveimum umførum, tá tað rytmiska spælið eksploderar, og vit fáa nýggjar samplingar inn í ljóðmyndina, m.a. av syngjandi hvalum.

Alt í alt tvey merkisverd løg við sterkum eksperimenterandi stílum, ið noyða tann forvitna lurtaran at geva sær far um ljóðmyndirnar. Silvurdrongur kallar stílin m.a. Extinction Punk, Doomer Pop, Haunted House og Art Rap.

Tað er Eyðfinn B. Lamhauge, eisini kallaðar Ayphin, sum hevur framleitt plátuna í samstarvi við Trygva Danielsen. Fleiri stakløg kunnu væntast næstu mánaðirnar, áðrenn heildarútgávan verður til sølu í Tutl í juli.
