Broken by Gremnîr

Two halves to the mind ever struggle toward synthesis.

"Broken" is Gremnîr's newest album, built on the concept of self-reflection, meditation, and self-empowerment. Several of the pieces are works that give name and voice to one's desires, recognizing the darkness within each of us, and strive to help listeners connect with themselves on a deeper psychological and/or spiritual level.

From the artist:
"As a -- mostly -- quiet person listening and learning have been cornerstones in my life. In my music I strive to show my listeners what we can become when we embrace ourselves, flaws and all: parts of us that make us unique and who we are. We are not perfect and should not portray ourselves that way. We also are animals in that we have primitive desires and instincts that help us survive, which psychologist Carl Jung attributes in part to the "shadow" or dark side of human psyche. A puppeteer of the subconscious, in so many words. It is my goal to help my listeners reconnect with that part of themselves to maintain emotional wellness and balance in their lives, which they may have locked away and neglected. The intention is to help heal, speaking succinctly." - Gremnîr
