This week in Icelandic neo-classical news, Ólafur Arnalds will be releasing his sophomore album, …and they have escaped the weight of darkness, in the states June 8. There aren’t any MP3s available yet, but yay! I love Mr. Arnalds. He has an exciting way of infusing relatively simple compositions with all the emotion to…power…a…car. Vroom.
