I think her debut had some good sounds and I really like her as a vocalist, but a lot of the actual writing felt under developed. Hope this new one's an improvement in that sense.

xp Fuck you're right

I also wanted to talk about a recent incident where Bruun stopped accepting private messages through the Myrkur Facebook page, as she was fed up with receiving death threats and misogynistic hate mail from men. Bruun revealed that she takes it in stride, and even uses it as artistic motivation. The conversation then took a surprising turn, as Bruun would go on to say that she’s far more concerned with the proliferation of Islam in Europe. I suggested that like other cultures, Islam has a secular side, and although she acknowledged that this is probably true, she said it’s a side that she’s never seen.

Can't listen to the interview in question right now but that sounds pretty bad.

yeah i mean i dunno. i shouldn't claim to have read any other interviews or anything about her other than remembering i saw that somewhere so perhaps there's context i don't understand.

though i approach all Scandinavian metal-ish artists with a default skepticism (perhaps my own prejudice i guess)

I liked M okay, she has very very dodgy opinions tho'. https://zombitrol.com/index.php/interview/journal-of-musical-things/246-myrkur-the-zombitrol-interview

i'm avoiding her bad opinions, the new album is really good.

I've decided I can get my folky bm jollies elsewhere tbh. It can't be any prettier than Botanist's new album in any case.

Actually it is just as pretty as the Botanist
