Gammal Bygd

Havnatt's fourth full-length album release

Gammal Bygd follows in the footsteps of Havnatt's Ragnhildstreet album from 2020. These albums both use the unaltered entirety of longer, multi-part poems by the late Norwegian poet Tormod Skagestad as the foundation for building what are basically concept albums.

On this album, the Havnatt duo continues to evolve their unique style of melancholic, acoustic dark folk music. The arrangements based around Cecilie Langlie's voice and Tom Simonsen's various acoustic guitar instruments still sound familiar to existing Havnatt fans, with just a hint of other instruments making an appearance here and there. The mood is dark, haunting, warm and ambient.

Musicians

Cecilie Langlie: Vocals. Tom Simonsen: Various guitars, ukulele, piano, bass, percussion and drums.
