Whispering Void Release New Single, "Vinden vier"

Nordic ambient rock act Whispering Void has unveiled a brand new single from their forthcoming album, At The Sound of the Heart. The track, “Vinden vier”, can be heard below.

In a press release announcing the album, vocalist Kristian Espedal stated the following about the inception of the song:

"This song began to form when I repeated the words 'Vinden vier', which is kind of a play on words. This can mean 'The Wind Sanctifies' but it can also be read as: 'The Wind Unites'. As the lyrical loop goes on, it also becomes 'Vi er vinden', which means 'We Are the Wind'. Then Lindy added her wonderful vocals in a 70s or even 60s style. At first, she just sang the ghost vocals, but once we had set the lyrics for the song, she also gave her voice to them. We all felt that this song also needed more of an Eastern energy, which is the very reason as to why we invited Ole André Farstad to play guzheng and Indian slide-guitar. This has added even more of that late 60s vibe to the song and I really like the result."
