With the songs from their internationally acclaimed first album Treize chansons (Thirteen Songs) the Swedish folk duo Le Lac Long 814 – formed by the poet Bengt Söderhäll and singer, musician and composer Daniel Östersjö – has toured around Europe and performed in both France, Belgium, Denmark, Czechia and Sweden. After a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic they’ve now relaunched their career and are proud to present their new EP Grave ta marque.
Le Lac Long 814’s EP Grave ta marque features three new songs. The latest result of the duo's musical-poetic collaboration is a story about what exists in the space we call life ...
Grave ta marque (Make Your Mark) - is the fabric that the child weaves with the mother's words as warp and weft, the elements that form the limits of thinking and give it its inexhaustible possibilities. And the deep-rooted desire to leave a lasting memory?
Entre une absence et une autre (Between One Absence And Another) – breathe the fragility of life, just as the soldier, the child, or mother, may soon be gone. Therefore, it is important not to lock the kitchen door and always be able to save a bed for those who may need on their journey between the two absences or darknesses that frames life.
Maman (Mama) - with the adult's gaze back to childhood, there are so many questions that can get no answers. The more questions I ask, the more I wonder. If only I had never started asking, if I had never started singing anyway.
Between a 50th anniversary on October 8, 2020 (when the song Innan was posted on YouTube) and a 70th anniversary on September 22, 2021, Le Lac Long 814 will follow up their internationally distributed debut album Treize chansons by releasing a number of new songs in collaboration with the Swedish music company COMEDIA.

Grave ta marque
la vie,
personne ne la connaït avant
que les poumons remplis
en une première inspiration
l'atmosphère prenne place en toi
Make your mark
no one knows about
life
before the lungs are filled
with the first breath
the atmosphere takes place in you
