Beekeeping by Lyngfarer/Windthrown

After having separately released music and toured for well over ten years in various bands like La Casa Fantom, Regn, Blackbird Raum and Fork amongst others, Lars (Windthrown) and Magnus (Lyngfarer) decided to work together on a full length studio album. The resulting split LP is drawing heartily from the underground punk, folk and metal world as well as storytelling and the diy aestetic. It spans from the fringier sides of traditional ballads to the more dynamic reaches of drones and noise as it explores commonalites between the two through a focus on the meditative and hypnotic.

The album as a whole is built on a noteworthy sonic pallate. Side A features Lyngfarer on the hardangerviola, anglo concertina, drones, various acoustic stringed instruments, singing and drumming. The B side presents Windthrown on electric baritone guitar, vocals, synthesizers, oscillators, cymbals and drums.
