Editor's note

Teitur, the quiet folk voice from the Faroe Islands

A singer-songwriter whose thoughtful songs have appeared in films like 'Cold Mountain' and shows like 'Game of Thrones.'

If you're new to Teitur, 'All My Mistakes' gives you a good sense of his style. 'I Was Just Thinking' is the one that reached the most ears.

Teitur's music has a way of showing up where you might not expect it. His song 'I Was Just Thinking' from the 2003 album 'Poetry & Aeroplanes' became his most widely heard track, but you'll also find his recordings in the background of 'Cold Mountain' and 'Game of Thrones.' There's something about that quiet, thoughtful folk sound that works both on its own and as a subtle presence in other stories.

He started playing guitar at eleven in the Faroe Islands. After 'Poetry & Aeroplanes' in 2003, he kept releasing albums like 'Stay Under the Stars' and 'The Singer,' even while dealing with a royalty dispute with his former label and some political attention after performing at the Dalai Lama's birthday celebration. The focus has always stayed on his voice and guitar, whether he's performing solo or with a small group.

Archive material and source history

Teitur Lassen is a singer-songwriter from the Faroe Islands who started playing guitar when he was eleven. His 2003 album 'Poetry & Aeroplanes' included the song 'I Was Just Thinking,' which became his most widely heard track. He's also written songs like 'All My Mistakes' and 'Catherine the waitress' that follow a similar pattern of quiet, thoughtful folk.

In 2008, he had a legal dispute with his former record label over royalties. A few years later, his performance at the Dalai Lama's birthday celebration in Iceland drew criticism from the Chinese government. These incidents occasionally surfaced in press about him, but his music kept coming out on albums like 'Stay Under the Stars' and 'The Singer.'

His recordings have appeared in films and television, including 'Cold Mountain' and 'Game of Thrones.' He sometimes performs with a small group of musicians, but the focus usually stays on his voice and guitar.
