Bølgane
Slow, brooding post-punk bass and guitar lay a textured foundation while indietronica synths weave through the mix. Soaring deerhide drums pulse beneath ancient Norwegian instruments—Hardanger fiddle, langeleik, bukkehorn—melding folk with modern sound. Baritone vocals in Sunnmøre dialect and layered, reverberant viking chants build a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere, seamlessly merging tradition and innovation.

Lyrics
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
ut av det blå,
så stend du på tå,
ser ut i mot lyse,
håpe ditt fryse,
dauden he kommt for å sjå, på,
daganje dine bli grå
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
ej kan høyre hjertet mitt slå
Siste du huska,
dauden så luska,
heile væra stoppa opp,
vinden slutta,
minnet avkutta,
alt på grunn av hjerte-stopp,
og-
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
vanskeli å puste,
vanskeli å huske,
kan ikkje tru ej fortsatt står på,
men alt stoppa opp når ej høre-
bølgane slå
kan du høyre bølgane slå?
kan du høyre bølgane slå?

Can you hear the waves crashing?
Can you hear the waves crashing?
Out of the blue,
you're standing on your tiptoes,
looking out toward the light,
your hope is freezing,
death has come to watch,
as your days turn grey.
Can you hear the waves crashing?
Can you hear the waves crashing?
I can hear my heart beating.
The last thing you remember,
was death sneaking near,
the whole world stopped,
the wind ceased,
memories were cut off,
all because of a heart stopping,
and
Can you hear the waves crashing?
Can you hear the waves crashing?
Hard to breathe,
hard to remember,
can’t believe I’m still standing,
but everything stops when I hear
the waves crashing.
Can you hear the waves crashing?
Can you hear the waves crashing?
