What made you wish to revive this specific music for the trigger?

It’s kind of a protracted story as a result of I wrote it between Homogenic and Vespertine and it was simply too poppy. It simply didn’t match into both of these albums. I simply put it on salt. I programmed the unique beat, and I suppose I used to be kind of going for some kind of a dancehall temper. Once I was listening to the monitor, I used to be like, Hmm, Rosalía, her final album was kind of experimental reggaeton. I can actually think about her voice inside this. Perhaps that’s a greater method to get a visitor vocalist, who kind of represents now, and there’s this tunnel into the previous, us having this type of dialog.

I’ve identified her for just a few years, so I simply texted her, and she or he instantly stated sure, earlier than even having heard the music. I believe she was additionally desirous to assist the trigger. I instructed her in regards to the fish farming, and we’ve been chatting about it. We translated the press launch into Spanish, as a result of it is an enormous downside in Argentina and Chile. I’m hoping it should one way or the other encourage individuals in all these different international locations to do one thing.

The best way you stated when we win makes me consider the road within the music, “The dream and the true, get them acquainted”—you weren’t essentially considering of making use of that to environmental causes whenever you wrote it so a few years in the past. How does that concept match into your advocacy angle for the music’s launch?

You’re proper, clearly, I used to be not fascinated with salmon then. There are different songs, for instance—“Declare Independence,” I wrote for the Faroe Islands and Greenland. I wished to problem this type thought of what a protest music is. So I used to be like, “Let’s do a punk rave music that could be a protest music.”

However this music will not be like that in any respect. I like the truth that it’s completely satisfied. We’re specializing in the options, to present individuals a voice. If we get extra money than ust for this courtroom case, we’re additionally going to enter all of the laws, and extra into the infrastructure of Iceland’s authorized system [about] how we are able to have strict laws right here. We additionally perceive that this isn’t a dash, this is sort of a marathon. This may take 5 years, so who is aware of? One of many explanation why I picked this case is as a result of it’s nonetheless attainable to cease the mutant Norwegian salmon. It’s nonetheless attainable to get our fjords again.
