Our Take

I'm excited to dive into the latest offering from the enigmatic Icelandic musician, Gabriel Olafs. "Solon Islandusin" is a whimsical journey through the musical landscape that showcases Olafs' talent for blending classical and modern influences in a truly unique way.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Flatey," where Olafs' delicate piano playing sweeps you away to a remote island, surrounded by ethereal melodies and gentle waves crashing on the shore. The song continues to build, layering in strings and synth textures that create a dream-like atmosphere that is both calming and captivating.

Throughout the album, Olafs' expertly navigates between moments of introspection and bursts of optimism, as seen in tracks like "Lóa" and "Birta." The lush arrangements and intricate instrumentation are a testament to Olafs' skill as a composer, creating a sonic landscape that is both intimate and expansive.

One of the standout tracks on "Solon Islandusin" is the mesmerising "Rokkur," where Olafs' piano playing takes center stage, weaving intricate melodies that dance and swirl around each other in a hypnotic display of musical prowess. It's a song that demands your attention and rewards you with layers of depth and emotion.

Overall, "Solon Islandusin" is a beautiful, mesmerising album that showcases Gabriel Olafs' talent and vision as a musician. It's a perfect soundtrack for a quiet night in or a peaceful moment of reflection. Gabriel Olafs has truly crafted a musical experience that is unlike anything else out there - a true gem in a sea of mediocrity.
