Elisabeth Misvær has taken the initiative to revive several old joiks and to publish these in an album. These traditional joiks have been taken from several valuable sources, including sound files and transcriptions from Karl Tirén's records and documentation of joik from the years 1909-1913. In addition, she has gained access to sources that include old private recordings from Nils Lennart Ranberg from Fauske. Elisabeth is concerned with generational and tradition transmission and has brought her son Trygve along in this work. The album mainly contains Pit Sami joiks (vuolle), but also joik from Ume Sami and Lule Sami areas, two Sea Sami joiks from Måsøy in Finnmark as well as two new joik compositions.

The choir commissions new works on a regular basis, two of which are Jacob Mühlrad’s Dreams and Linda Alexandersson’s April och tystnad (April and Silence), and both are featured on this album along with several magnificent choral pieces. The choir’s hallmark is a certain pure, transparent, and homogenous tonal quality developed in the day of Ingemar Månsson (1929–2022).

The songs on this release – volume 2 – continue the chronological list from volume 1.The album begins with the remarkably special cycle Wartburg, encompassing an enormous range of singing pathos. The text by Theodor Caspari has to do with Wartburg Castle, with its sweeping history. Martin Luther sought refuge there from May 1521 to March 1522. Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia resided there from 1211 to 1228, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the castle several times, and, notably, the famous "minstrel contest" at the castle was an inspiration for Wagner when he composed his opera Tannhauser. So it is not so unusual that Theodor Caspari was also inspired by the castle's history and reputation when he wrote his Wartburg texts.

All four compositions of Ørenslyd are developed from an exploration of acoustic and vocal sound formation and the active participation of our listening ability in this formation. The four pieces represent different manifestations of the tonal expression of the human voice and the acoustic richness of the double bass. Ørenslyd (from “øre”, ear, and “lyd”, sound) means “the opportunity to hear something being said or to be heard yourself”.

Norway’s most far-out and unique prog band TUSMØRKE is back! This album is not for the faint of heart. Like some great Babylonian harlot, the sinfully sweet sounds held within this record will deny no one, but they extract a great price! There will be no turning back should you proceed on this wretched path and cut your way through the thickets so green, for the path is fraught with danger and temptation. Proceed and you might find yourself sucked off, as it were, to a strange fairyland where every bush and clearing is gushingly alive with the brazen bacchanals of satyrs and nymphs.
