‘Koma’ has a modern, international sound with musical
inspiration from both faroese and international music.
Stylewise we have modern rock with triphop influences
- think Radiohead, Portishead and Sigur Rós. Petur not
being the greatest of musicians himself, has found just
the right partners in his band, to give life to his poetry
extraordinaire.

Lyrically we’re dealing with the very core issues in life. The
texts touch very close to the essence of life’s fragile being
and rather than ignoring and repressing life’s darker sides
such as loneliness, deception, discouragement, alienation
and rootlessness, Petur stares the fear in the eye and this
makes this a remarkably practical cd.

At light’s end

It may seem as though we have a very
depressing cd, but on the contrary. The title ‘Koma’ is a
journey through darkness, culminating with Petur ‘coming’
to a lighter place in life. Thus the cd ends with the beautiful
song ‘Koma’ written by Petur for his baby daughter Døgg.
After hearing songs about the lows in life, it’s touching to
hear Petur sing this song for his daughter.
