VERGING - an unofficial music video for BY ENDS GREAT GLITTER by PÅGÅ

Today, for those of you who, just like us, enjoy having from time to time also some visual stimulation along with their favourite music, we are delighted to present "Verging", an unofficial video for one of PÅGÅ's most spellbinding songs: "By Ends Great Glitter".

The video is an experimental sequence of scenes which, as the title suggests, hints in a way at the feeling of approaching, of culmination, that might be sensed in the sort of ethereal, uncanny bliss which seems to permeate this song. Fragmented flashes and visions perhaps of an awakening, of a discovery, or maybe an encounter.

It has been conjured up by Vesperalia and of course PÅGÅ's music has been used with permission.

You can watch it here below, we hope you'll enjoy it and in case you haven't yet, grab yourself a copy of the unique album which is PÅGÅ's fantastic debut "The Evil Year", available at Svart Records.

Follow PÅGÅ in the strange maze of their charismatic debut "The Evil Year"

We have been eagerly waiting to hear it, anticipating it, trying to imagine how this creature would have been like, what sounds it would have contained and now...here it finally is: today PÅGÅ's debut album, "The Evil Year", is out there and can be streamed in its compelling, strange and otherworldly entirety.

And it is nothing like we could have ever imagined. It's much, much more than an album, it spans from the imminent to the remote, from the here to the furthest, casting a long, murky shadow for the listeners to follow and see where it leads them.
And at times, following "The Evil Year" in its twists and turns, feels a bit like wandering among the catacombs of the damp wine cellars in Edgar Allan Poe's tale "The Cask of Amontillado", you start to get more and more inebriated as the music becomes the molecules of the air you're breathing, but instead of ending up entombed alive like in Poe's famous tale, you proceed along a labyrinth of drum beats and strange sounds, never at your own pace, but at the album's complete mercy. There's no other choice, and when you reach the last track, it's like arriving at that secret, hidden spring that no one else has reached before.
Thanks for the surprising journey, "The Evil Year", it'll be a journey we will undertake many other times, surely it'll be always a bit different, at times creepy, at times soothing, never predictable.


PÅGÅ's "The Evil Year" is out now on Svart Records, available on coloured gatefold vinyl with lyrics and artwork booklet (ltd. to 500 copies) , as well as on digipak CD (also be available as digital release).

PÅGÅ release new, uncanny video for their eerie song "Olili"

Today, we are offered one more glimpse at what is possibly one of the most anticipated albums here at Unearthed Mirrors: we can now watch in fact a new, uncanny video for PÅGÅ's song "Olili", taken from their debut album "The Evil year"!

With a sequence of hallucinatory-like scenes showing a disquieting figure running incessantly, the video builds a thick layer of subtle suspense and looming anticipation, properly introducing the listener into the spectral mood of "Olili", the first purely instrumental -and darkest, so far - song premiered from the album.






PÅGÅ's "The Evil Year" is out on November 27th, 2020 and it can be pre-ordered at the Svart Records webshop: the coloured gatefold vinyl, ltd. to 500 copies, appears to be already sold out at the label [Edit: as of now, it has become availble again; note: release date of the vinyl edition is Dec. 11th], while it is still available on digipak CD (the album will also be available as digital release on all the main music platforms).

PÅGÅ release new captivating single "Water Strider"


PÅGÅ's debut album "The Evil Year" is going to be out in just a bit more than a month now, and today, a new single has been published on Svart Records' YouTube channel: it's "Water Strider", a marvelous, enchanting acoustic ballad.
The song instantly captivates the listeners with its bluesy, melancholic tone, which moves to the point of sending a shiver down the spine, making you want to listen again and again when it reaches the end. Which is exactly what we're going to do here right now...and so should you, pressing play here below.

PÅGÅ: a new musical entity created by Pelle & Gottfrid Åhman - debut out in November!

Amazing news arriving from Svart Records that will surely see many of us appreciators of In Solitude getting really excited about this new project announced today: PÅGÅ is a musical entity created by none other than Pelle and Gottfrid Åhman, and their debut, titled "The Evil Year", is due out on November 27th, 2020! 

In the label's official statement, we can read how they present themselves: "“Out of a great lust to encounter the unknown and to explore the boundless in us this record/work came about, in the hands of The High Spirit Rebel. We wish this may serve as great entertainment, a bad enemy, an instrument and a match. Enter! Step in!”

PÅGÅ is described by Kvohst (of Grave Pleasures, Hexvessel, and Svart Records) as “Post-Punk freakery, like Birthday Party era Cave, avant-garde Bowie and the darkness of Coil with unique artistic flair that’s in a world of its own.”

Sounds absolutely intriguing and it is certainly something we'll be looking forward to!
The striking cover artwork, as most of us probably can guess by the distinctive style, is made by Pelle, and the layout was curated by Erik Danielsson.

The tracklist appears to be as follows:
