Eirik
A deep, warm recurring voice carrying central stories, intimate verses and heroic melodic lines.
The world of Driftward
Between the pull of the horizon and the warmth of home.
The project
A shared musical world
Driftward is a cinematic Nordic folk music project shaped by seafaring stories, northern landscapes and the moments that bring people together.
Its songs move between distant horizons and the warmth of returning home — from ships leaving the harbor to voices rising around a longhouse fire.
Each release is another chapter in the same musical world: adventure, friendship, celebration, longing, sacrifice, hope and the freedom of the open sea.
