Krákan is the second studio album of Faroese singer-songwriter Eivør Pálsdóttir, known professionally as Eivør. Although most of her albums are sung in Faroese or English, this one is in Icelandic, from the time she lived in Reykjavík to study classical and jazz music. Her music on this album is an eclectic mix of Nordic folk, pop, rock, jazz and avant garde, but her immense musicality and awesome voice shines through in every single track. An album (and an artist) unlike any other I've heard at the time. Highlights for me are Har Heiti Eldur Brann, Hjarta Mítt, Kanska Ein Dag, Nú Brennur Tú Í Mær, Sum Sólja Og Böur, and Hjarta Mitt.
