3rd studio album by Teitur is a collection of songs entirely in his native Faroese language. The style is gentle folklore and singer / songwriter with Teitur only accompanied by guitar, brass, piano, and quiet jazz drums. The album has only been released in Scandinavia and initially only in the Faroe Islands and in Iceland prior to a live tour on the islands.
I think many of the tracks sound too much alike without obvious great songs. The normal strong narration disappears in an incomprehensible language, and it only proves that you must be a native to fully appreciate these songs.
