EIVØR goes BBC! The exceptionally talented Faroese delivers the soundtrack for the new series "The Last Kingdom"!

“I was very fascinated by the unique soundscape he [Lunn] had created and singing on top of it felt in a way like coming home. I love that he is using only analogue synths and real drums”, explains EIVØR.

Based on the book series "The Saxon Stories" by Bernard Cornwell "The Last Kingdom" deals with the protagonist Uhted (Alexander Dreymon, American Horror Story) who finds himself faced with the difficulties of being "neither a Saxon nor a Dane during England’s early days" (Ew.com). Family feuds and war will be central themes of the series, which is set to launch on BBC America on October 10 at 10 p.m. ET.

Unfortunately team Cargo in Germany still has to wait to check out its favourite Faroese on TV. But luckily EIVØR just announced German tour dates!
