Drawing particular influence from Jóhann Jóhannsson and Dead Can Dance, IV is the latest evolution in Witnesses’ cinematic ambient soundscapes. Featuring lush strings and winds, sparse guitar arrangements, and occasional vocal passages, IV takes the listener on an ambiguous and mysterious journey through Nordic-inspired landscapes. Danish lyrics and winding saxophones cut through the compositions to add unexpected motifs. Just shy of 47-minutes in length, Witnesses IV features guest appearances by Jørgen Munkeby, MALMØ, and Gabbi Coenen. Additional guitars are provided by Matt Kozar.
