STAY

With STAY Frøkedal picks up the fiddle and re-interprets traditional Norwegian music as pop music. Along with Familien she explores a brighter, more densely populated fjord landscape, where folk-pop hooks and singalong rock melt seamlessly together with melodies and assymetric rhythms inspired by local music traditions.

STAY is Frøkedal & Familien daring us to believe that happiness may not be an unfulfilled potential somewhere else – but that it may exist right here, right now. It is an album portraying love and pain, roots and community.

STAY will be released on Fysisk Format on June 14th 2024.
