Our Take
Our Take
Upon first listen to UTBYRD's Varskrikin, it's clear that this Icelandic duo is not afraid to push boundaries and defy genre conventions. The album opens with the hypnotic track "Fjall," which sets the tone for the rest of the journey with its haunting melodies and ethereal vocals. As the album progresses, UTBYRD seamlessly weaves together elements of folk, electronica, and even a touch of reggae, creating a truly unique sound that is both captivating and enigmatic.
Lead vocalist Brynja Skaptadottir's voice is a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly soaring over intricate layers of synths and percussion. She brings a raw, emotional intensity to tracks like "Hraun" and "Ógæfurnar," making for some truly spine-tingling moments. Meanwhile, multi-instrumentalist Jónas Arnarson's production skills shine through on tracks like "Brennilaug" and "Tundur," where he expertly blends organic instrumentation with futuristic electronic textures.
Varskrikin is an album that demands repeated listens to fully appreciate its complexities and nuances. UTBYRD's willingness to take risks and experiment with different sounds and textures pays off in a big way, creating a sonic landscape that is as sprawling and majestic as the Icelandic countryside that inspired it. In a music industry dominated by cookie-cutter pop and formulaic hooks, UTBYRD stands out as a bold and exciting new force to be reckoned with. Buckle up, because Varskrikin is a wild ride you won't soon forget.
