The Faroese folk singer/songwriter EIVOR releases her second studio album within a year. "Slor" is a collection of newly composed songs, which EIVOR sang in her native language - Faroese.

The album is the successor of the English-language album ,Bridges". And even though these are two different albums in different languages, there is a connection between the two records.

Where "Bridges" was light and above all yearning, "Slor" sounds more raw and reflective.

"Bridges" was inspired by friendship, love and homesickness. It deals with the bridges between us, relationships between people, places and also things that touch us.

"Slor", on the other hand, is about wanderlust, separation and the search for peace. A veil can be a symbol of a border between the present and the past, but a bridal veil, on the other hand, represents happiness and devotion above all.

EIVOR explains the process of the sibling albums: ,"When I wrote the songs, the songwriting was first done in English and right after that it came into my head in Faroese - like a kind of mirror image." Thus, it is not only two separate works, but also a composite moment in the song process.
