I can't think of more appropriate music for this cold, rainy day than this. These nine songs of acoustic guitar and piano, gentle vocals, tinkly-winkly mallets, synth flourishes, and restrained percussion are freely downloadable (with cover art) from this Icelandic musician's website. Try “drunk song” and the title track as more energetic stand-outs OR “i need a home for my hands and head” and “we like winter clothes” for smoky late-night listening.
The nine songs (8 + 1 “hidden”) of the Singing Arc EP are hi-fi home recordings which should easily guarantee young Seabear a label deal (if he wants one). Not much like Björk, Múm, or Sigur Rós or any of the more visible musicians from Iceland I've yet heard. For fans of the slow burn. Let's get floaty.
