Floating Sofa Quartet feat. Esbjörn Hazelius:
Bergakungen (The Mountain King)
(trad., arr. Hazelius/FSQ)

Esbjörn Hazelius – vocals, guitar
Mads Kjøller Henningsen – hurdy gurdy
Leija Lautamaja – harmonium
Clara Tesch – fiddle
Malte Zeberg – double bass

It is a story about a maid who meets Bergakungen (The Mountain King) whereafter she is forced to live with him for 8 long years as they have 8 children together. SPOILER ALERT: In the end the woman drinks mead until her heart is literally bursting, as she is not allowed to see her mother and the rest of the family anymore. 💔

This Sofa Song is released in co-operation with Lira Music Magazine.
A huge thanks to Historiska museet vid Lunds Universitet for letting us use this unique location!
