Havnatt is a Norwegian folk music duo whose haunting melodies and poignant storytelling have captivated listeners with a sound deeply rooted in Scandinavian landscapes and traditions. The group was formed after the release of "Havdøgn," an album originally commissioned to accompany a collection of texts by the Norwegian author and poet Tormod Skagestad. When Havnatt's members, Cecilie Langlie and Tom Simonsen, found a powerful synergy in their shared passion, they decided to expand upon the project, thus giving birth to the duo.
Their music, often characterized by ethereal vocal work and atmospheric instrumentation, pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of their homeland while exploring universal themes of nature, history, and the human experience. Havnatt's discography, including evocative pieces like "Japansk Kirsebærtre" and "Gammal Bygd," reveals their ability to weave intricate narratives through song, often touching on elements of folklore and myth. Songs like "Dagen Og Natta" and "Heimferd" showcase their unique blend of acoustic simplicity and emotional depth, further solidifying their place in the world of Nordic folk music. Each release, from the reflective "Søvn I September" to the enigmatic "Etterlatte," contributes to the richness of Havnatt's sonic universe, setting them apart as torchbearers of an age-old tradition seen through a contemporary lens.
