KALANDRA release new final single ahead of new

Norwegian alternative rock band KALANDRA have released their final single “A Ship

Has Left the Shore” ahead of their upcoming third album The Other Side on 13th November via By Norse Music.

“The Other Side” is available on black vinyl, limited edition coloured vinyl, digibook and on all digital platforms, pre-order here: https://bynorsestore.com/en/bnm-pre-orders

“A Ship Has Left the Shore” is about losing someone dear to you. Based on an idea by guitarist / keyboardist Jogeir DaaeMæland, and the lyrics were written by Jogeir and vocalist Katrine Stenbekk as a response to the death of a close family friend. The song takes its time to unfold and gradually builds towards its destination, asking the listener to be patient and attentive. There is a quietness to the way it carries its grief, leaving space for the emotions to reveal themselves rather than presenting everything at once.

The band comment:

Much of the album explores what happens as we drift off to sleep – the space between consciousness and dreams, and the worlds we encounter when we let go. A Ship Has Left the Shore takes us somewhere else entirely: to the other side of life, and to the profound question of how we cope with death and the absence of those we love.

On the new album, KALANDRA explore and follow a series of vivid and recurring dreams over the past few years. Vocalist and song writer Katrine Stenbekk, together with band mate Jogeir DaaeMæland, began exploring the world of dream analysis. Keeping a notebook by the bed, they started writing down fragments of dreams the moment they woke. Those scattered images, emotions, and subconscious narratives, became the foundation for a new collection of songs. 

KALANDRA have recently announced their biggest headliner tour in Europe to date, with special guest singer-songwriter Finnegan Tui from New Zealand. The 2027 tour starts on 26th February in Cologne (DE) and ends 27th March in Amsterdam (NL). A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.
