studios thank you so much thank you for having us we've had a very good time and the floor is very soft to jump on it's bouncy which is very nice for me cuz I'm wearing no shoes we're gonna do one last song and it is Valentine's Day today isn't it it is and we don't really celebrate it that much in Norway dressing still the next song does kind of it even though one of the two lovers dies because the other lover kills his lover so it's quite sad but it's still quite quite romantic I think and it's quite a sad story perfect for today perfect for Valentine's Day so me and my dear friend Celia is gonna do it just bringing some female energy into the room thank you again for having us thank you [Music] ah my sitter again feathers falling out so for you if time is done and I can [Music] but I know it happened [Music] hola [Music] ha [Music] snow can be broken into son [Music] across a crime [Music] remember but you know [Music] [Music] [Music] hi [Music] to speak I returned from that shine [Music] [Music] Oh [Music] I was beautiful thank you for that Valentine's gift thank you for having us Aurora is here in the KEXP studios playing tonight at the Showbox here in Seattle your music is so vivid and so visual to me I felt like at the first song that you played through the eyes of a child I almost felt like a bird just soaring above a beautiful landscape like in Iceland where I last saw you where you live in Norway is also very beautiful I've heard you speak about the beauty of the place you live I imagine that it inspires you in these beautiful songs oh yes it really does it has really taught me how to respect nature because I've seen the value of it because I've I've grown up and the nature has always been like a safe place and also a place where you can just exist because nature doesn't really ask anything of you and the world is quite demanding and it gets more and more demanding you know the older you get so I feel like the older I get the more I need and those days where I'm just wrapped around by the woods along those lines you've spoken a lot over the years about your connectedness to everything that you feel part of one big organism and you know intellectually we all know that but that really infuses everything that you do you speak a lot about it I'm very inspired about the way that you talk about it can you tell us a little bit about how you feel yes I am I don't know I am really I feel very connected to everything I feel very connected to the pain of people around me to the pain of the animals and the pain of the planet and and the pain of the culture is it in our past and the way we've treated you know each other it's oh there is so much pain you know hidden of course there are a lot of amazingly lovely stuff but I really I feel I feel very connected to every human out there and I often take with me those emotions when I write music also and I try to imagine what what I can do that will connect with the world like what I don't know I tried to make the music the world needs or at least a few people I know you know and I feel very connected and I feel like if I die now and I'm reborn as you I would really appreciate if I was kind to you because if I'm you in my next life I will have this kind of gift to myself in the future if that makes sense mm-hmm so I just like to think that we're all kind of the same soul living different adventures within different bodies and I don't know it's not the thing I like I truly believe but I like to or maybe I do from today on I truly believe that that's how it is and I feel like I don't know we are quite disconnected in a time where we should be more connected than ever and I think it's really important I don't know it's one of my biggest passions to be connected to each other and have empathy with the people around us well to be kind to one another if we only did that that would be a lot yeah you're very connected to your fans in fact yesterday I received a request from a 7 year old girl for the song animal I'd only just received recently and she was actually listening from New York and she's fallen in love with you and I know that you have taken time to really connect with your fans and they come in all ages and you have said that the interaction that you had with your fans really inspired your most recent music that you've written oh yes yes it has is you know a few of the songs from my first album was inspired by you know the little things I knew about the world and about myself I didn't have as much you know input as I do now and and for my next album I have really taken in the stories of the people I've met because I really find purpose I don't know it's it's not enough to only have myself as a what do you call it when something pushes pushes you on like him I don't know something that pushes you on or another clever word for that phrase but um it's not enough to have only myself so it really helps to have you know the people that I'm inspire you yes inspire me and it's it's really like a good motivation to keep going and to for example have a show even though you're really tired and sick because sometimes you are but it really um keeps me going to know that you know I am here for a reason I don't know I think it gives me a lot of comfort to know that I do something that is important well you inspire so many of your fans they would love to hear that they in turn inspire you and your music a lot they do like the stories and the way they share the inner core of their hearts to me often within like the first minute we we meet because they're already open and I get to meet people in a very intense and beautiful way where I you know see the extreme things they're going through I have been going through the extreme just you know it is an extreme sport to be a human and I don't know I feel very privileged mm-hmm is that the word it is nice to may taste it but I feel very you know privileged to get to know people in such a emotional way and it inspires me a lot yes it's so important to speak about things words have so much power so it's a really important thing they really do and you channel that emotion 1,000% it feels like in your live shows I'm curious how the shows have evolved I only got to see you for the first time in Iceland just a few months ago and I felt like your show was absolutely exhilarating I couldn't wait to see you live again and as you've gotten comfortable on stage and you've played a lot of shows and toured a lot how has that show evolved as you're just all over the room and all over the stage when you play and you are lost in the music yeah I definitely took I think it took me about two years to enjoy being on the stage the first two years of doing quite big festivals and a lot of touring I didn't even like it because it's not it's not a natural thing for me to I don't know the the attention thing is very strange but it has evolved a lot I don't think I opened my eyes one time the first year and I usually stood in one place and I moved my hands a lot quite quite frantically because I have so much energy when I sing and I can feel like you know it comes from like a different place from the place of music if it's you know in this divine place I get like I get too much energy for my tiny human shape and I I didn't really know what to do with it so it kind of made me kind of almost shake but now I know I were to put it out and you know to the people in the crowd and my eyes are open and my hands are open it and it feels very good so it has evolved a lot it's exciting it's not being like this all the time it does seem like you enjoy it now I do one thing it's clear that you enjoy is making the music and what some people might not know is that you are intimately involved in producing all of these songs all of your records and from time to time you have people help you but talk about this new record I know the infections of a different kind was meant to be a two-step record and you've really step one and now you have a new song so it sounds like maybe step two it's on the way it's coming it's sooner than you think bit later than you hope I'd like and yeah I actually made you know and it has a lot to say where you are when you make an album you can really hear you know the the energy we had you know at the place we were at and so step one has a very different energy from step two was that in France yeah so step one was made in France in this in this really beautiful castle working place it was definitely haunted mm very very huge and very lovely it was so nice and the bed was so huge I could sleep like both both ways you know and I did it every other day I slept like I switched the directions I laid on the bed because it was nice to see you like a different point of view anyway and I made it in France and step two I made in a tiny room with purple floor that gives you a rash so don't touch it it's old and I got a rash from doing like angels moving around to snow yeah on the carpet anyway it has purple flow and blue walls and that me and my drummer painted and we just stayed in it for the whole of November we had maximum like four hours of sleep every night and we just made the whole step in in a month and we worked really hard and it was really fun it has a very different energy I would say but it's it's gonna they're gonna fit quite nicely into each other because I will release a physical EP okay LP with with everything okay that would be yeah just so you know we do look forward to that we're live here in the KEXP studios with Aurora a magnificent performance and you'll be playing tonight at the Showbox yes thank you for having me thank you so much you've got it tuned to KEXP seattle discover new music
