THURNIN's third album "Harmr" was born out of the deep feeling of grief that only love can bring. The title refers to an old Icelandic word that is probably more literally translated as 'grief' while it's contemporary meaning rather implies 'sorrow'. The loss of one or even more loved beings is hard to bear for any person. It is therefore hardly surprising that the lower key and a reduced tempo are permeating "Harmr" throughout most of the songs; and much more so than on it's predecessor "Utiseta" (2023), on which THURNIN mastermind Jurre Timmer interpreted this numinous act as a way to commune with nature. Yet while the magical dreamworld of THURNIN has turned into a darker and more melancholic twist, there are also the feelings of hope for salvation, loving memories, and glimpses of beauty within the musical context that Timmer established on his debut album "Menhir" (2021). When "Menhir" found it's way from Timmer's home studio in the town of Soest by the Dutch city of Amersfoort, the album became an instant hit on YouTube that has long passed the milestone of 1 million views. At the edge of winter, when spring is just about to bring new light and warmth to the Northern hemisphere, THURNIN will open a new portal to their dream world with an album that is born from grief but offers comfort and solace to all who step on board the gentle musical vision of "Harmr".
