Bjørn Riis stands among Norway’s most acclaimed and prolific artists in the progressive rock genre. An accomplished songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Bjørn has achieved worldwide recognition both as a founding member of Airbag and through an increasingly celebrated solo career.

Pointing towards a new musical direction, Divergence explores different shades of Bjørn Riis’ songwriting. A four-track mini-album featuring all-new material, largely written during the Fimbulvinter sessions, Divergence is closely connected to Fimbulvinter and the live mini album Lifandi, released earlier this year, completing a deeply personal trilogy and journey.

The single Mercy is a sombre, atmospheric piece featuring a duet with Norwegian artist Mimmi Tamba, alongside Bjørn’s evocative guitar playing. A song about change and hope, it also nods to the American singer-songwriter tradition that has been a recurring influence throughout Bjørn’s music.

Divergence features Bjørn Riis on all instruments, with longtime collaborator Vegard Kleftås Sleipnes handling mixing and mastering. The striking cover image, shot by Bjørn at Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse in Denmark, reflects themes of contrast and change. Cover design by Airbag frontman Asle Tostrup.
