Instrumental psych trio Kanaan release collaborative single with neofolk group Ævestaden
27th June 2024Instrumental stoner psych trio Kanaan has joined forces with neo-folk trio Ævestaden, in a heady collaboration combining two of Norway’s most lauded young groups.
Today Kanaan & Ævestaden release their otherworldly new single ‘Habbor og Signe’, which you can stream via Jansen Records here: https://orcd.co/habbor
Courageous, meditative, and progressive, ‘Habbor og Signe’ is just another jewel in the crowns of these two award-winning bands.
It’s the first new material from Kanaan since their 2023 record Diversions Vol. 2: Enter the Astral Plane (Jansen Records) – their eighth studio album since forming in 2018.
The trio came to prominence with psychedelic, jazz-inspired rock, but have gradually moved in a heavier direction, where their latest studio efforts have been labeled stoner rock. The band, consisting of Eskild Myrvoll (bass, synths), Ask Vatn Strøm (guitars), and Ingvald André Vassbø (drums, speed Farfisa), won the Spellemann award (Norwegian Grammy) in the rock category in 2021.
Ævestaden is a neo-traditional folk trio, who combines ancient instruments and folk songs with electronic music in a cutting-edge and idiosyncratic sound. The band consists of Norwegian Eir Vatn Strøm (the sister of Kanaan‘s Ask Vatn Strøm) and Kenneth Lien, along with the Swedish Levina Storåkern. They have received several awards for the albums Jag är sen igjen (a collaboration with Benedikt) and Solen var bättre där.
