news. SPURV announce new Album „Kelolågen“; share first Single/Video „Kelogadd“

Emerging from Norway’s expansive post-rock landscape, SPURV announce their fourth album, „Kelolågen“, set for release on February 5, 2027 via Pelagic Records. Alongside the announcement, the six-piece unveils the album’s first single, „Kelogadd“, a dark, noisy post-punk track driven by bass and electronic percussion, with breathy vocals and a heavily processed field recording of a waterfall in an old-growth forest in northern Norway.

The album’s title refers to a phenomenon that has no direct English equivalent. A kelolåg is a pine that has stood for centuries, died on its feet, twisted silver-grey and finally fallen, to spend hundreds more years becoming soil. Most Norwegians have never needed the word either, as old-growth forest makes up only around 1% of Norway’s forest. On their fourth album, SPURV give the fallen tree a voice – and, for the first time, a singer. Founder Gustav Jørgen Pedersen, who partly started the band so he would never have to sing in one, now does.
