Our Take
With a title like "And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness," you would expect Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds to deliver an album that is as weighty as it is ambitious. And boy, does he deliver. From the ethereal opening track "Þú ert sólin" to the hauntingly beautiful "Gleypa okkur," Arnalds weaves a mesmerising tapestry of sound that takes the listener on a journey through light and darkness, mystery and contemplation. The arrangements on this album are nothing short of breathtaking, with Arnalds seamlessly blending classical elements with modern electronic production to create a truly unique listening experience. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter's night, while simultaneously being transported to another dimension. Tracks like "Þú ert jörðin" and "Hægt, kemur ljósið" showcase Arnalds' incredible talent for creating emotional landscapes with his music, while "Allt vard hugsað" and "Kjurrt" prove that he is not afraid to push the boundaries of his artistry. Overall, "And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness" is a stunning achievement from one of the most talented musicians working today. It's a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
