The hype is still strong, so everyone concerned will probably know it by now anyway, but fuck it, here's my "review". Amalie Bruun aka Myrkur has released six minutes of new music, available digitally or as a limited 7", which is probably already sold out by now.
MYRKUR - Juniper (download) (2018)
The song "Juniper" is a dark pop ballad with hymnic metal passages, an atmospheric but catchy tune, which would have fitted right onto here last album "Mareridt".
There are soft clean vocals and her unmistakable siren wailing, but no banshee shrieks this time. So apart from the guitar sound in the heavy parts she forgoes the obvious black metal side of her sound here.
"Bonden og Kragen" is a short solo track of Amalie interpreting a Danish folk song from the 1600's. It's the folky side of Myrkur, which she mostly presents in short videos on social media and special shows. I'm pretty sure this also foreshadows a "Folkesange" album coming in 2019.
Both songs are good stuff. Neither the greatest Myrkur pieces of all time, nor the worst, but definitely nice to have.
