Biggest news for me is she is hoping to do a show in London at some point 🤞

Susanne Sundfør's new album is out today. The official link gets removed automatically by reddit filters, but you can find it on most streaming services with a search. The videos are on YouTube.

From her announcement email: 'My new album with Kit Downes, Revelations of Divine Love, is out today, offering an ancient meditation on love as an answer to the questions of modern life.'

word of warning, the audio is super echo-ey.

I've just seen that two of her albums will be re-issued in October, in connection with the release of her new album. This is an opportunity to grab them if you didn't do so when they were first released.

October 2nd: The Silicon Veil. It's basically a reissue of this version: https://www.discogs.com/release/3516501-Susanne-Sundf%C3%B8r-The-Silicone-Veil but this time by Sonnet Sound Ltd and it's an LP-only release.

You can find it at, among other places, here: https://bigdipper.no/sonnet-sound-ltd/1200214410933/susanne-sundf%c3%b8r-the-silicone-veil-lp

October 9th: The Brothel. Originally released in 2010 by Warner Music, now by Parlophone Norway

Same: https://bigdipper.no/parlophone-norway/5099962807814/susanne-sundf%c3%b8r-the-brothel-lp

I'm not sure it'll be available internationally as well.

On October 2nd her new album will be available on vinyl as well, Revelations of Divine Love. It'll also be released in CD, which is interesting.

This autumn, Susanne Sundfør invites audiences into a new musical landscape. With songs from across her career, newly dressed in tones of bluegrass and country, she embarks on an extensive fall tour together with some of the country’s leading musicians.

“I’m excited to share the stage with some of Norway’s best musicians this summer and fall, where we’ll be giving my music a new country outfit. There will be good old-fashioned bluegrass, but also touches of country, strongly inspired by icons like Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss.” - Susanne Sundfør.

Pre-sale tickets will be available to Susanne’s mailing list on Friday June 19th.

Susanne Sundfor has been my favourite musician for over ten years. Her lyrics always read as kind to me, and as if she considered things and people very gently but thoroughly. She's posted a few things on social media in recent years that read a little as dog whistles to me but now she's outwardly supporting RFK Jr. and the Trump administration, I'm really disappointed and frustrated.

Did she always support the far right and I just didn't notice or did something happen?

why?

Several of Susanne's songs are featured on this excellent Röyksopp dance remix album:

Oh, Lover at 37:19

Running to the Sea at 1:03:48

Never Ever at 1:16:15

Hi! so i recently got into a few of susanne’s songs, and i see a lot of potential that she might be a new favorite of mine. When i start listening to an artist, i usually like to start with the songs/albums that are most my taste then i start listening to the ones that are totally out of my range and i usually end up liking them.

so my question is what do you think would be the best way to go through her songs? if i start with electronic then work my way to acoustic and experimental, what order should i listen in?

Thank you so much, u/me_dunco - this playlist that you put together (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3fkWxpcBmCnVMzoH40IMxv?si=VK-8xNe9S--AuukAEr_l8w&pi=8-K8k6XRTZi5s) has been the central musical theme of my life over the last month, and as it comes to a close, I cannot wait to start it all over again, and find new favorites the second time through.

As it stands, from my first listen through her entire library one song at a time, taking my damn time, here are the songs that have touched me the most and stuck with me:

10. Oh, Lover - One of my favorite songs ever, for reasons I cannot explain, is Röyksopp's "What Else Is There?" Because of this song, Spotify thought I might "Oh, Lover", and when I heard it I immediately said "I need to know who this vocalist is!" This is how I first discovered Susanne, so it makes the list even if it's not her song.

9. Can You Feel The Thunder (The Silicone Veil) - Haunting. I have no idea what this song is about, and I refuse to look it up and figure it out. I love the melody of this song, I love how she approaches this vocally, and I love the arrangement. Art does not have to always be one thing. I am absolutely enthralled by what Susanne is able to do, and how she is able to constantly demonstrate that she defies labels and boxes. There are so many sides to her artistry, and it makes listening to her so much more enjoyable.

8. Mantra (Music For People In Trouble) - I think we live in a world where honesty and simplicity are not really things that the world at large seems to care about any longer. Society seems to value things that are fake (social media, AI, super mega overproduced songs that are more computers than human at this point). I love this song because of its simplicity and beauty, and the absolutely spell-binding guitar that comes in halfway through the song - but it has one of the saddest lines in any Susanne Sundfør song : "Stardust in a universe - that is all that I am worth." It is my sincere hope that she does not genuinely think that that is true, because we are all worth so much more than that.

7. Reincarnation (Music For People In Trouble) - There are songs where the words mean the most to be, and songs where the music means the most, and songs where they both just go together so flawlessly. Susanne's ability to use and explore chord progressions that are so incredibly unique - blending majors and minors and things that should not progress in the way they do progress is - to me - one of her signature sounds, and this song is a great example of that.

6. Rūnā (blómi) - Who is Susanne Sundfør? Is she a folk artist? Yes. Poet? Yes. EDM singer? Yes. And now, guess what, she is also someone who writes amazing anthems that sound like a cross between a Disney movie, a musical, a church choir singing carols outside in the snow, and a scene from a movie where the main character finally reaches the top of Mount Everest and the camera fades to black.

5. Alyosha (blómi) - A song about her wedding day (I think?), with the song's namesake taken from one of my favorite characters from The Brothers Karamazov, this is just such a beautiful, triumphant song. Susanne doesn't often use standard chord patterns (C, Am, F, G, etc...), but she chooses (maybe?) to use a simpler set of chords in this song so that the listener can focus on what's really important to her in this song - the words, the words that are not about her, but about her husband. It's also her only song that kind of reminds me of one my other favorite singers ever, Enya. These lyrics are so powerful, and they fly in the face of what we hear so often in today's world:

They say life's no point, so why bother? Love yourself more than any other
But that is not what I will live for

4. blómi (blómi) - This album - and this song specifically - feels like an antidote to the sadness and darkness that seem to have permeated some of her earlier works, and that currently permeate our entire world. The ending refrain, words to her daughter: "just... hold on, hold on - cherish this gift that I have given you. From the ashes of sorrow, we will rise again" is such a powerful and hopeful set of words. I can only wait for her daughter to go through hard times in life and be able to come back and listen to these words, knowing they were meant just for her. What an amazing gift, (though I did have to Google what the hell crocuses were....)

3. Dear John (Take One) - I love this melody, I love the tremble in her voice as she reaches the higher notes, and I love how the piano sounds like an extension of her - you can tell she is playing with such passion. Certain notes that she hits, and the emotion in her voice when she says them, strike me right at my core.

2. Walls (Susanne Sundfør) - I love the honest lyrics about isolation and loneliness against a backdrop of music that feels less morose than the lyrics it supports. I just love her performance of this song, it feels like it's going to be a beautiful folk song from the first piano notes, and it never lets you down.

1. Moments (Take One) - This song - and this live recording, specifically - is just full of absolute raw emotion, from her absolutely hauntingly beautiful "All the moments, whAAAaaaaat are they worth?" during the second chorus, to the way she ends several of her verses with these guttural, ugly throat noises that are not meant to be beautiful, this is the song that plays over and over in my head as I close my eyes to sleep at night, and it's the one that makes my eyes tear up when I hear.

I just discovered Susanne Sundfør and her first self-titled and second Take One album a few weeks ago and like... I literally can't even. How is this woman not world renowned? I listened to her first album, probably five times in a row before deciding to venture out to her second album, and... words cannot describe the auditory wonderland that I fell into upon seeing it was the same album again, just solo. I cried halfway through the album at just the sheer beauty and rawness in her voice. I am just so amazed! I'm so happy to have this in my life!

Hope it’s ok to post here, I made this video set to Lys from my footage of a wet autumn day that seemed to capture the mood of this song so well. ✌🏻
