Spearheaded by four Norwegian and Swedish musicians, Kalandra have captivated the world with their unique blend of melancholic Nordic folk, gritty guitars and ethereal melodies.
This November the group will bring their hauntingly beautiful live show to Australia for the first time. Kalandra promises to be a captivating experience that weaves fragility and fortitude into an immersive sonic journey.
Their second album, A Frame Of Mind, was released in late 2024 via By Norse Music and featured the singles,The State of the World, Bardaginn, Are You Ready and I Am.
Each song on the album reflects Kalandra’s unique fusion of atmospheric rock and dark pop.
“A Frame of Mind” marks their second studio album effort and after the success of their 2020 debut The Line, being featured on the soundtrack to the Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands video game and a a viral cover of Wardruna’s “Helvegen” nearing 6.5 million YouTube views, Kalandra’s debut tour is a moment not to be missed.
The album can be described as an introspective journey about life’s experiences and how they shape the way we perceive the world. It explores what we put within the frame of our day to day lives, but also what is excluded. The band has combed through their memories and written about past traumas, cheri shed childhood memories, and a wariness about the future and the state of the world.
Vocalist Katrine states: “I Am” serves as the opening chapter of Kalandra’s upcoming album, “A Frame of Mind”, setting the stage for the introspective journey that lies ahead. The lyrics delve into the act of self-reflection, acknowledging the person you’ve become and taking responsibility for your own evolution.
The music video is made by the multi-talented filmmaker, puppet maker and stop motion artist Martyna Koleniec.
