Vreid And Sólstafir - Across (A Journey Through The North)

The ACROSS project is a cinematic experience that brings SÓLSTAFIR and VREID together to share their cultural identities and bridge the sea between the two fjords. The concert is free to watch, but fans may donate via VIPS and PayPal. Spectacular views of the Storehogen Mountain in VREID’s hometown of Sogndal, Norway and of Hellisheiði in SÓLSTAFIR’s native Iceland lay the majestic backdrop for this one-of-a-kind, 90-minute long digital streaming event. Each band’s signature sound rings through the cavernous expanse, creating a symbiotic musical dialog that can be heard from across the globe. SÓLSTAFIR’s Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments: “Playing live music in sideways rain on moss grown lava. They wanted something Icelandic. Doesn’t get any more Icelandic than this.” VREID songwriter and bass player Jarle Kvåle adds: “SÓLSTAFIR’s and VREID’s stories are two parallel stories of the north. In this weird world, our paths have crossed on several occasions and this time they have merged into something new. This is the third streaming event VREID has done, and in many ways, it represents the end of a trilogy for us. This time we have recorded the show in a place very special for us, probably the most monumental and iconic place of our beloved home region of Sogn. Join us as we go ‘Into the Mountains.’” Follow SÓLSTAFIR: Follow VREID: Setlist: intro 0:00 Vreid - Wild North West 1:32 Sólstafir - Ótta 7:37 Vreid - Dazed And Reduced 17:25 Sólstafir - Köld 23:22 Vreid - Arche 33:01 Sólstafir - Náttmál 40:52 Vreid - Sights Of Old 52:47 Sólstafir - Bláfjall 1:03:02 Vreid - Disciplined 1:11:40 Sólstafir - Fjara 1:17:08 Vreid - Into The Mountains 1:24:22
