When on a long journey, you can start to wonder what is real and what is not, but at the same time, you are constantly seeking the unknown.” Harnessing her vocal power is not necessarily about choosing the right words, rather following specific feelings and utilising the voice as an instrument.Ībout the album Lindy-Fay comments, “‘Hildring’ is the Norwegian word for mirage. Lindy-Fay honours her great-grandmother and other Sámi people who suffered injustice when this traditional form was condemned. Lindy-Fay also draws powerful inspiration also from traditional Joik singing, unique to the Sámi people of Northern Europe. Lindy-Fay Hella sounds especially liberated on this record, reconnecting to a childhood passion for synths, and her love of “Black Celebration” by Depeche Mode, attributing her vocal experimentation to Dave Gahan’s wide-ranging style.
Synth drones and fluid melodies are deftly-woven together with the organic sounds of acoustic piano, guitars, harmonium and percussion/drums, elevated into something larger than life by Lindy-Fay’s extraordinary, expressive vocal style. The soundscapes of “Hildring” are like moonlight shimmering in running water. “Hildring” is an intuitively crafted, ornamental and rhythmical record with a dark pop sensibility, channeling the musicians’ mutual appreciation of different genres, from dark synth, folk, jazz, noise/experimental, Krautrock, prog rock, and world music.
