Silvurdrongur
“Yes, it’s possible for an extraordinary concert to temporarily ‘spoil’ future ones,” the good doctor told me, as I proverbially shivered and muttered the words to ‘Spælidrongur’ in my life jacket on his couch. “When we experience peak emotion, intense euphoria, connection, or awe – the brain encodes it as a reference point.”
– Tom Taylor, Far Out Magazine
Congratulations!
You've found my official website.My name is Trygvi Danielsen, also known as Silvurdrongur.
I'm a Faroese artist currently based in Oslo, Norway.I write books, make films, create music, and perform.
All in my native language, Faroese.I've released three books, one feature film (111 góðir dagar),
several short-films, and about 7-8 albums under various names and constellations,
mainly AGGRASOPPAR and Silvurdrongur.
Last summer, I released my second Silvurdrongur album called nú æt eg eftir ánni.You won't find it – or any of my shit – on the techno-oligarchical
dystopian hellscape that is Spotify.Check out my Bandcamp page instead.

THE FADER
"Rapping in his native Faroese, one of the world’s least-spoken tongues, Silvurdrongur (Silver Boy) makes a strong case for the language as a vehicle for bars, and for the small yet shockingly varied Faroe Islands music scene. On the 13 tracks of nú æt eg eftir ánni (now I am named after the river) — each named for a different “drongur” (boy) — he builds a bizarre, magical-realist world that’s also grounded in the sinister realities of our own. Like the best Del Toro films, the album threads this needle with wondrous, hypnotic soundscapes that provide a strange, disarming setting for Silvurdrongur’s venomous bars."Fresh! Hiphop RnB
"From the moment you press play, nú æt eg eftir ánni captivates with its striking originality and masterful musical composition."Info Music
“An album that pushes the boundaries of music and art, offering an immersive and deeply original experience.”
Revolution De Rythme
“Silvurdrongur's ability to fuse the absurd with the sublime, capturing a unique zeitgeist while weaving an enchanting narrative, ensures that this album will leave a lasting impression on listeners.”Indie Chronique
“Even if you don't understand the language, you can't help but appreciate Silvurdrongur's creativity and storytelling. The album navigates between genres as varied as they are unique, and that you will certainly discover today [...] labels invented to describe the extraordinary eclecticism of his music.”Direct Actu
“An Experimental Pop production with almost cinematic dimensions”Riptide Mag
“Promising a strange and inspiring journey through alien soundscapes, the album combines unexpected genres and themes”
