Fern' (accompanied by two B side singles) is a companion piece to Sunna Margrét's album released earlier this year, 'Finger on Tongue', her debut album that "solidified her as one of the most intriguing artists to emerge from the country in recent years. Tipped by BBC 6 Music, The Quietus, Under The Radar and Record Collector" (Iceland Airwaves press release). The Quietus said: "Oddball Icelandic pop packs a dense punch, heavy with ideas" and recently also included the album on the 'The Quietus Albums of the Year So Far 2024' list.

In her own words:
'Fern', 'Garland' and 'Sickness' are all songs I wrote simultaneously alongside 'Finger on Tongue' but because of the flow of the album as well as fitting all the music on vinyl, I put those three tracks aside hoping to give them their own space to grow. I also feel as the intention in the songs is more direct, I use my voice in a way that is more similar to my live performances. It's more present than distant and I get straight to the point. There was some sort of fire burning when I recorded the vocals, my heartbeat was faster and I wasn't going to settle for anything distant or undecided.

'Fern' is a plead to an understanding. When you're expressing something important and it feels as if it isn't reaching any ears. As if no matter how much you try, nothing happens, nothing changes. This song can be interpreted in a political way, at least that's my feeling with it now.
I had so many problems with the melody, I changed it a 100 times. When I did my residency at Trempo in Nantes last September I had great equipment and finally made new recordings for all the voices. This song desperately needed a good microphone and then it all came together. I'm very happy with it now and look forward to nourishing it when it's out.

'Garland' is a relationship drama with a lover, it's a song with a narrative. I sometimes like to play with that type of storytelling. I only used percussion sounds and voices for this song, like the two people who are fighting. Two opposites. It's the kind of song that is created in one go and then I don't touch it again because it's perfect just like that, very raw.

'Sickness' has very personal lyrics, it's kind of sad and tragic but it ends with a rebellion or some sort of victory. Shouldn't be explained too much. It's my usual Ableton type of writing session, and then Maxime Graf, whom I often work with, re-recorded my computer bass with the electric bass and mixed everything with great attention. I have a love-hate relationship with this song, probably because it makes me feel vulnerable.
