First of all, the band had a prescribed, almost four-year, break to singer Jónsi. The summit has not been idle over the years, has brought his solo album on the market and created with his partner, the Ambient Project Jónsi & Alex into life. After I really hattte fear a while that the band would no longer come together for the same reasons at last came the news that in this same year, a new album comes.
This is since today in the form of Valtari.
In 54 minutes takes us on a journey with the band that is not like them or appeal to everyone. Because the band does give back everything else, away from the almost cheerful pieces and Popmomenten of its predecessor, towards peaceful, ambient tones without major outbreaks.
Highlights abound nevertheless, alone the beautiful and sacred Dauðalogn is purchasing the plate value, but also know the rest of the songs to convince. And, although some of them are barely palpable. But that's what makes the magic of this band. Since incur from stringing together different sounds and instruments really magical moments.
And that's what makes Valtari from. It's just not consume disk for in between, no, this disk will be discovered and developed. And who is it takes the time will surely be rewarded.
Playing tips from my side. The aforementioned Dauðalogn, Varut and the already pre-release Ekki Mukk.
One more thing to the end. According to rumors, the band has recorded an album which is to be published next year and will probably again be a counter-proposal Valtaris. I'm curious
