Anna Von Hausswolff has announced fourth record Dead Magic. The follow-up to 2015’s The Miraculous is scheduled to arrive on March 2 via City Slang. “Me, my band and Randall Dunn spent nine days in Copenhagen recording this record,” explains von Hausswolff. “The great pipe organ you’re hearing is a 20th Century instrument located in Marmor Kirken, ‘The Marble Church’.”
The Gothenburg-based artists goes on to quote a poem by Swedish writer Walter Ljungquist (1900-1974). It reads: “Take the fate of a human being, a thin pathetic line that contours and encircles an infinite and unknown silence. It is in this very silence, in an only imagined and unknown centre, that legends are born. Alas! That is why there are no legends in our time. Our time…
…is a time deprived of silence and secrets; in their absence no legends can grow.”
