Kråkesølv is a Norwegian band hailing from Bodø, formed in 2007, known for their poetic lyrics in Norwegian and a sound that blends indie rock with elements of post-rock and traditional Norwegian folk music. Their music embodies a raw, organic feel, often characterized by jangly guitars, reflective melodies, and earnest vocals. The band's name, which translates to 'mica' in English, metaphorically represents their style—unpretentious and shimmering.

The group made a significant mark on the Norwegian music scene with their self-titled debut album in 2009, which earned them two Norwegian Grammy Awards (Spellemannprisen) for Best Rock Album and Newcomer of the Year. Kråkesølv has maintained a steady presence in the Nordic region, known for their introspective and evocative lyricism. Their recent works, such as "Force majeure" and "Lett for mæ å si," continue to dive deep into the human experience, offering a blend of both anthemic vigor and delicate musings on life, time, and memory—as exemplified in tracks like "Hundre runda rundt sola samles i ett sekund." The band's ability to fuse the introspective nature of their songwriting with dynamic musical landscapes has secured them a dedicated fan base and a respected place within the Scandinavian music world.
