What began as a playful jam during a soundcheck while touring – quickly followed by a New Norse (Nynorsk) translation – soon evolved into something far more serious than we initially intended. ✍️🎶
Originally written by Radiohead, Everything in Its Right Place is a song that has resonated deeply with us for years, and in many ways has shaped how we approach composition and chord progressions as musicians.

Here we go again with another cover, we know. We can’t seem to help ourselves. It’s just too much fun, and since we’ve gained approval from the original rights holders, the creative journey simply presented itself to us.

We tried to preserve the essene of the original, its ironic title with its uneasy sense of acceptance. A disorienting landscape carried by a forward-moving pulse. Somehow it felt fitting as we began the new year with a sense of optimism...

“Bloodborn” was built on contrast — the pulse of the riff and the openness of the chorus.

“Giđa ávašta” (one senses spring) is a collaboration between Emil Kárlsen & Elina Ijäs — a reflection of renewal, where light brings language back to life. In Gáivuotna/Kaivuonon/Kåfjord, the return of the sun mirrors the reawakening of the Sámi language along the coast. Get behind the scenes of the music video, shot in these shifting landscapes.

Emil Kárlsen & Elina Ijäs released the uplifting single “Giđa ávašta”, last week.

Its a positive and empowering song for everyone who needs motivation through their struggles. Giđa ávašta is a very symbolic song with many layers in the way it tells our story from the past, while upliftingly leading us toward the present and onward into the future.

It is no coincidence that “Giđa ávašta” is set for release on April 3rd. March and April are when the season of giđđadálvi (spring-winter) truly begins to fill polar winter-weary souls with optimism again. It is not only the time when the sun has returned, but also when it gently starts to warm the land and melt the snow. It is furthermore a chance for fans to hear new material from the upcoming album 'Nannámii' which has been postponed to September 25.

Emil comments: "This is a positive and empowering song for everyone who needs motivation through their struggles. Giđa ávašta is a very symbolic song with many layers in the way it tells our story from the past, while upliftingly leading us toward the present and onward into the future."
