Faroese artist Eivør has released Verjugarðar / Walls, the latest song from her new studio album, Tungl, which arrives on 16 October 2026. The dark electronic rock ballad moves between lament and hope as it explores love, loss and the emotional barriers that can separate two people.
“Verjugarðar / Walls is an epic and dark electronic rock ballad about two people who have lost what once bound them together behind walls of silence.,” Eivør said. “The paradox is that the walls we build to protect ourselves can also be the very walls that keep us apart.
“This is one of those songs that took me a few years to write, but when it suddenly fell into place, I just couldn’t stop singing it.”
Tungl, the Faroese word for “moon”, is a ten-track journey through tenderness, heartache, love, loss and renewal. The album will be released on CD, digipack and several vinyl editions.

“Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life,” Eivør said of the album. “Its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, Tungl serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience and transformation found along the way.”
