With The Dim The Darkness Came is an ambient and cinematic album that explores silence, contemplation in the moment, spirituality, history, thoughts and visions. The aim is to create an interreligious sound universe that, through the music archives of history, creates a current sound image that invites open questions; to reflect on what gives meaning, faith and hope, and what people have previously believed in and been willing to fight for.
Jorgensen Island is a scandinavian folk-band, created in the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. It is singer & songwriter Tine Kjær, and her musical companion & producer Tomas Raae. The songs are based on observations, imaginations and stories, wrapped in a dusty neo-folk-like universe. The female vocal leads us through journeys, love, nature, dusty roads and dead ends.
You walk along a road. Everything is quiet. Darkness is approaching, but you can easily see everything yet. There is a kind of spaciousness in nature – you can sense that it knows more than you do, that it has seen more than you have… ..
It’s dusk yet, but you know the darkness will win in a little while. It is beautiful and eerie in an exalted way. They land and look at you. Attentive. You know they know something you don’t even know, like some black birds. Quietly, they blend in with the darkness … With The Dim The Darkness Came is an ambient and cinematic album that explores silence, contemplation in the moment, spirituality, history, thoughts and visions.

A cinematic song about going to the beach and meeting the waves. A story about finding oneself when you don´t expect it. I thought a lot about songwriter Rickie Lee Jones when I wrote the lyrics, how she has inspired me.
To me “Big Girl” is one of the most successful overpoweringly emotional songs of Dylan’s whole writing career – perhaps the ultimate emotional song in his entire output – although I think one has to listen to the Biograph version and the album version to get this completely.
You wake up. It is dark. Your heart beats. You begin to faintly sense the outline of space, all senses are awake. Breathe in and you look out the window. Suddenly the stars appear.

It’s Allways Been You is a tragicomic indie-pop song about vulnerability, consumed by the challenges of love.
The sun has set, but there is still a strong reflection of its light in the night sky. Twilight. One can faintly see the outline of objects on the ground, while the horizon is more difficult to distinguish. It rains. It’s in a little while it all begins, the magic arises and the story begins?
