Five years on from her last record, Guðrið Hansdóttir, a leading Faroese singer songwriter, returned with a powerful, personal and emotional album titled “Gult myrkur” (Yellow Darkness). Guðrið has been performing and recording her own music since the millennium and has never shied away from beating her own path. On her new album she opens up an eerie universe of soundscapes illuminated by her warm, charismatic vocals, and by soft acoustics and light electronic rhythms.

Guðrið’s passion for poetry led her to the doorstep of Lív María Róadóttir Jæger, a Faroese poet who happily agreed to collaborate on the album. Lív invaluably contributes words to all nine songs.

“I’m so happy to have Lív onboard; she really understands my ideas, listens, reflects and writes the most beautiful poetry in her own unique way.” -Guðrið Hansdóttir

Gult myrkur is a ray of light in darkness; with songs about daily life, about sorrow and loss and young love and happiness.
