Black Water is a collection of songs originating in an ill-omened overnight hike through the remote Norwegian island Varaldsøy in 2017.

The tracks pick out scenes from this trip. Marching off alone along the coastal path in the direction of an upland ridge called Hesten (The Horse). Trudging east through a storm several hours later into pathless forest towards the ominously named Svartavatnet (Black Water). Stumbling down the mountain road at midnight, the woods humming with bioluminescence.
