Kira Skov What Ties Us Together, Will Keep Us Apart

Featuring Kira Skov (vocals/guitar), Silas Tinglef (guitar/drums/keys), Anders AC Christensen (bass), Maria Jagd (strings), Ned Ferm (sax/flute).

Kira Skov's What Ties Us Together Will Keep Us Apart is an evocative and deeply personal album, rooted in themes of family, generational trauma, and the stories we inherit. Inspired by her own experiences and shaped by her collaboration on the DR1 TV series Generations, Kira explores the ways in which history, both real and imagined, shapes our identities.

The album's genesis began with Kira's reflections on family relationships, drawn from her father's vivid but often fictionalized stories. When writer and director Anna Emma Haudal approached her to compose music for Generations, a drama exploring family secrets across three generations, the timing was serendipitous. The themes of the series resonated deeply with Kira's own songwriting, resulting in a collection of emotionally charged, atmospheric compositions.

Recorded and produced with her longtime partner Silas Tinglef at Seabass Studios in Copenhagen, the album features a rich sonic landscape. Silas plays guitar, drums, keys, and bass, while Maria Jagd contributes sweeping string arrangements. Anders AC Christensen provides bass and piano, Ned Ferm adds haunting flute and saxophone textures, and Anders Trentemøller lends his signature synth bass to a track. The album was mastered by Brian Batz .

What Ties Us Together Will Keep Us Apart is a powerful statement on the weight of personal and collective memory. With Skov's signature haunting vocals and introspective lyricism, the album moves fluidly between raw emotion and melodic beauty, offering listeners a deeply immersive experience.
