"Lifande is a great Post-Rock album and a must-hear for every fan of the genre” 9/10
Transcended Music Blog

"A great mix of nostalgia and euphoria"
WherePostRockDwells

Lifande (Life) is the second part of an album trilogy that continues the story that started with Vodälse (Birth) and will conclude with Dauora (Death). While Vodälse was about the journey of birth and the relation to the elements (water, earth, fire, love and air) Lifande is about the story of life and how it is affected by society and politics.

"It was just the logical next step", according to Sväro (who recorded Lifande completely on his own during lockdown in 2020). "It was not even intended to be an album trilogy when we started working on Vodälse. But when thinking about the concept for the follow-up album it was clear that the journey that was started needs to be continued and concluded. So we came up with the idea of Lifande telling the journey of life. Thus this is a very political and socially-minded album dealing with the challenges that we face during such difficult times as right now".

Several themes are covered in the album like refugees (in "Vio Äru Här (Og Sao Gladego Over Pat)"), Fridays for Future movement (in "Pu Ingrodir Ossur Fortigare (Pu Muer Ingroera Ossur Aigen)"), battle against depression (in "Jeg Vil Eke Döyja (Jeg Vil Lifande Ar Evifu)"), fighting right-wing politics ("Diri Hatnu Ker Barins Ae Svara Meo Astek") and dealing with a serious disease (in "Og Sva Svyter Vio Meo Vindinen (Inn I Hit Okänta").

"Even though we already tried with Vodälse to push the post-rock genre and create something new, I think musically Lifande is even more diverse: With the modern-metal influenced "Diri Hatnu Ker Barins Ae Svara Meo Astek" we wrote our heaviest song yet. The mellow "Og Sva Svyter Vio Meo Vindinen (Inn I Hit Okänta)" has some dark wave influence. And then there is the samba-style first part of "Pu Ingrodir Ossur Fortigare (Pu Muer Ingroera Ossur Aigen)".
