knút

Knút (Knút Háberg Eysturstein) is a musician, songwriter, and singer. He’s also a researcher in Music Education at the University of the Faroe Islands. He has been a central figure in Faroese music life for over two decades as a musician, programmer, producer, scholar and all-around “doer”. Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen recalls how Knút has been “one of the main instigators of the "Millenium Revolution" in Faroese music culture, where a younger generation of musicians brought progressive, creative leanings into a somewhat stagnated music life”. Through the years, Knút has toured and recorded with numerous bands and artists such as Gestir, Marius, Petur Pólson, AVE, Tuxedo Rebels, Konni Kass, Svartmálm and Hogni, with participation in around twenty studio recordings to date. Knút has previously released three solo albums on Tutl Records: Havsgló (2004), The Desert Holds A Flower (2009), and On High (2013).
