Icelandic pop/classical musician Ólafur Arnalds has already made an impression with his projects "For Now I Am Winter" and "The Chopin Project" with pianist Alice Sara Ott. For his new album "Iceland Songs", the multi-instrumentalist and composer is now embarking on a unique musical journey of discovery across his home country of Iceland.
Over the course of seven weeks, Ólafur Arnalds recorded one track each at seven different locations on the rugged volcanic island with a wide variety of local musicians and artists, inspired and influenced by the regional characteristics. His moving journey brought him together with musical companions such as Of Monsters And Men front woman Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and the poet Einar Georg Einarsson, among others. The result is a multi-faceted homage to Iceland's culture and its people, full of different colors and fascinating stories that captivate the listener.
Ólafur Arnalds was also accompanied by director Baldvin Z, who captured all 7 tracks in atmospheric videos, which are now being released on DVD together with the album. The album also contains a new bonus track "Study for Player Piano".
