Ragnhildstreet

Havnatt's third full-length album release

Ragnhildstreet is a concept album of sorts, written and built around the six part poem with the same.

The poem in six parts (originally numbered with roman numerals I - VI) was written by the Norwegian poet Tormod Skagestad back in 1946, and released in the collection of poems entitled "Inatt skal mange våke" (1947), shortly after the end of the Second World War.

Using the lyrics completely unaltered, the Havnatt dark folk duo has constructed a musical journey through the entire poem. Arranged for voices and acoustic guitar instruments only, it’s a haunting, warm and melancholic experience.

Musicians

Cecilie Langlie: Vocals. Tom Simonsen: Various guitars, ukuleles and bass.
