Sorten Muld is a Danish folktronica ensemble founded in Aarhus in 1995 by Ulla Bendixen, Martin Ottosen and Henrik Munch.

After a comeback in 2011, the group released Mark IV - Lånt tid in 2021, broadening their sound with Middle Eastern instruments and influences from jazz and contemporary Danish poetry.
