Icelandic post-rock quartet Sólstafir have shared a video for their brand new single Hún andar which you can watch below.

Hún andar is taken from the band's upcoming album, Hin helga kvöl, which translates as The Holy Suffering, their first for new label Century Media with whom they signed earlier this year. Hin helga kvöl will be released on November 8. It will be the follow-up to 2020''s Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love.

"Hún andar, meaning ‘She breaths’ is an obituary to a living person whom I love very much, but the mind is gone due to mental illness and drug abuse," explains guitarist and vocalist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason.

Sólstafir announced a European tour, their Nordic Descent Tour 2024, for November and December. The upcoming 24-date tour will see the band playing dates in Brighton, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow and London, as well as throughout Europe.

The quartet will be supported on their Nordic Descent Tour 2024 by Finnish experimental rockers Oranssi Pazuzu, Faroese doomsters Hamferð and Swedish post-rockers Helga.

You can see the new artwork for Hin helga kvöl and the full list of dates below.
