Ólöf Arnalds- Við og Við

Add Date- January 12
Artist: Ólöf Arnalds
Album- Við og Við
Label: One Little Indian
Genre: Folk


So this is an Icelandic singer-songwriter who is labelmates with Bjork…you can already imagine what this sounds like based on that information alone. Olof was previously a member of Mùm and a member of Sigur Ros produced this album. Originally released in 2007 back in Iceland, the album has recently been released in the US. These acoustic tunes are simple and gentle folk tracks are pleasing to listen to but break no new ground. Sparsely-picked guitars and lutes provide a soft sonic backdrop for Olof’s icy voice. The songs all sort of run together, but either way they are still little tunes perfect for a cold winter day.
(Note: pronounced “O-luff” and album title as “Veeth o’ Veeth”)
