Tusmørke

Tusmørke is a psychedelic, progressive folk rock band from Skien, Norway, playing music inspired by the international bronze age, local myth, paradolia and stargazing.

When they’re not writing 26-minute songs about The Black Death, they like to express themselves through concept albums about Danish Iron Age swamp mummies and abstract theories of light (and darkness). And the occational Children’s album, on which they deal with relatively grown-up topics like urban wildlife, the financial crisis, social issues, global warming, occultism, and good and bad magic.

All very mind-blowing, but Tusmørke are not afraid of anyone or anything – not even bafflingly complex theories of existence. They gladly tackle, grapple and wrestle with ideas they barely comprehend, yet keenly perceive to be significant.

The upcomimg Tusmørke album “Dawn of Oberon” is set to be released on Karisma Records August 30. 2024.

The band says: “This record is a testament of a tumultuous time. We had a new drummer, Kusken, and keyboard player, Herjekongen, in 2022 and immediately started working on the epic Dawn of Oberon. This behemoth had been wallowing about since the start of the millenium, never quite finding its shape and form. We thought of this as a trial by fire to galvanize the new members. During jams at rehearsals and concerts, new themes emerged, resulting in a sort of sequel in the form of Dusk of Tawblerawn part 1-5. Kusken decided to quit after just 8 months, but agreed to document the time we had spent together. All the music was recorded in our rehearsal space and studio in 2022-2023. 

The record is a manifestation of our Peter Pan syndrome; our aesthetics and ideals remain unchanged for the last 25 years. Never grow up, just grow old. This time we go away with the fairies all together, to the far-away land of the far-out mind.

The album is also the second to feature stunning, specially commissioned cover art by the one and only Sverre Malling.

Tusmørke – Lær de fattige å trylle. From the album “Bydyra”.

“Imagine Deep Purple Mark II with Ian Anderson – or Black Sabbath’s rhythm section with Thijs van Leer – complete with an insanely accurate retro ’70s sound, and that’s just a taste of these space/time-traversing Norwegians.”
