Description
'Myrki Heima' by Oliver Englafjord is an album like no other. It's metamorphosed from late-night sonicsketching, through YouTube beta testing on to an alias-donned / fully-fleshed 13-track body of work. 3 years in process, 'Myrki Heima's epic passage to album-hood culminates this July.
The by-chance brainchild of Sweden's Marcus Schössow, 'Myrki's embryonic moment occurred in Iceland, a half decade ago. Blinking Oliver Englafjord into existence, it was a trip for Schössow that went far beyond the bounds of the merely inspirational.
A citizen of an unidentified Nordic city, Oliver's life musings visually push through the fourth wall of 'Myrki Heima's music. Across a series of 5-minute accompanying film shorts, sound-tracked by the album's audio, Englafjord half-ponders/half-narrates his life, the universe & everything.
The meanings of Oliver words are initially cryptic. Only through the 4 video chapters, framed against the urban, metropolitan and bucolic Nordic locales that accompany 'Myrki's release, does his story become clear.
