The album was also nominated for the Manifest Gala and the Folk & World Music Gala in 2023. In June 2024, Mojna released their second album, ”Väntenätter”, which was met with great enthusiasm and nominated for Folkelarmprisen – Album of the Year. Norwegian NRK awarded the album the rare rating of 6 out of 6.
“Virtually no note feels superfluous on the album, and the three musicians appear remarkably in sync in how they develop the songs.”

For his work on Väntenätter, Thomas Eriksson was named Composer of the Year at the 2025 Folk & World Music Gala, with the following citation:
“A dancing, delicate weave of folk melodies and improvisation. Finely nuanced conversations between the instruments, elegantly intertwined harmonies, and space for the musicians to fully express themselves – exquisite!”
– STIM and RFoD
In October 2025, the trio released their third album, Mareld, further cementing their position as one of the most groundbreaking forces in contemporary Nordic folk music.
