Listen: Download Ólafur Arnalds - 'Þú ert sólin'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater April 21st, 2010

Icelandic (oh, how topical) neo-classical maestro Ólafur Arnalds releases a new record on May 10, entitled ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness. That comes out through Erased Tapes. What is being offered to you now, however, is a free track from the album called 'Þú ert sólin'. No, I have no idea how to pronounce it either, but musically it's a beautiful thing.

To get the free download of 'Þú Ert Sólin', either visit the official site or just click here and be done with it in an instant. It's of a lower quality than if you'd buy the real thing so, y'know, buy the real thing.

The new LP has the following tracks:

  1. Þú Ert Sólin
  2. Þú Ert Jörðin
  3. Tunglið
  4. Loftið Verður Skyndilega Kalt
  5. Kjurrt
  6. Gleypa Okkur
  7. Hægt, Kemur Ljósið
  8. Undan Hulu
  9. Þau Hafa Sloppið Undan Þunga Myrkursins

Album art is also quite beauteous.
