Native Electronic Pop In february 2020 the debut album “Dárjja- Endure” will finally be released! In 2015, the Sami artist Elin Kåven and songwriter/producer Robin Lynch discovered their common interest in nature, indigenous peoples, primal life and a certain nordic expression. Since then they have worked on this musical project where the main focus has been to go back to the roots, our connection with mother earth and the innermost natural part of ourselves. The primal force. They call their music Native electronic pop. Electronic music with heavy beats blended together with the traditional Sami singing known as joik. Elin Kåven from Karasjok is an established artist in her genre Arctic Folk Pop, where she sings in Sami and joiks. She has released three critically acclaimed solo albums on and toured twelve countries. Robin Lynch is a recognized musician, songwriter and producer with a number of hit songs under his belt, including artists such as Pink, Jessie J and Cher. Robin is born and raised in Helgeland in the north of of Norway, but is now living in Sweden where he runs his studio. The name Elin & The Woods came about while recording when Elin repeatedly told Robin “I have to go out to the woods before I decide!” Their first single “First step in Faith / Oadjebasvuhtii” is a suggestive heavy electronic joik. A song about having trust in the fact that everything is the way it should be. This song ended up as number tree in Melodi Grand Prix in Norway in 2017.
