Official press statement: With “Touch My Love And Die,” commissioned via Danish broadcaster DR1, Myrkur enters Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026 with a contribution that does not seek to fit in, but to open the space. A song in which darkness is not concealed, but allowed to cast light.
The winner of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will represent Denmark at Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna, Austria in May.
“Touch My Love And Die” is a dark, cinematic ballad in which Myrkur’s various musical expressions merge into a new whole. The sound incorporates elements from metal, Nordic folk music, and film scores, recorded in Dolby Atmos with real musicians—from cello, a girls’ choir, and ancient folk instruments to drums captured with more than 40 microphones. A physical, human soundscape in a time marked by speed, artificiality, and distance.
