ノルウェー・アメリカ拠点のエクスペリメンタル・フォークデュオ Gabbareinが、5/3にOur Silent Canvas Recordsからリリースするデビューアルバム『Gabbarein』より、先行シングル 'Kom Her'のMVを公開！
ディレクターは Astrid Biessy。
Gabbareinはノルウェー出身のボーカリスト・サウンドヒーラー Cecilie Hafstad、アメリカ出身のコンポーザー・プロデューサー Christopher Bono (Ghost Against Ghost, Nous Alpha, NOUS)の2人組。
2人は2011年に出会い、NOUS, Ghost Against Ghostなどのプロジェクトでのコラボレーションを通じて親睦を深め、2018年に壮観なフィヨルドに囲まれた街 ノルウェー/リンゲンで行われたレコーディングセッション中に具現化したとのこと。そこで見た白いトナカイと先住民 サーミ族の文化や、サーミ人のシャーマンから聞いた白いトナカイを見ることの精神的な重要性などにインスピレーションを受けているとのこと。Gabbareinはサーミ語で「聖なるトナカイ」を意味します。
“This track is about getting stuck in depression. How one can make unsound and rash decisions out of fear when stuck in the darkness of the mind. When this channeled through me I was transported back to when my good friend was going through a very hard time in his life. Being I have dealt with anxiety and depression myself, I was trying to guide him through a very hard time. ‘Kom her kom nå, ikke gå deg bort bare så - Come here come now don't get lost just stand there’ is about him not doing anything, just being still, standing still and not giving in to the depression and its hold. Unfortunately my friend didn't take my advice or believe in himself and his light and he ended his journey. It was all too painful for him. The track is about hope and being in pain, how at its worst one must stand still and not over think or make any major decisions. Just be still. Not doing anything but just accepting it. Reaching out to friends, getting help, getting guidance and believing you can make it through. The last line ‘Du kan få det til’ translates to ‘You can do it.’” - Cecilie Hafstad
