Ólafur Arnalds

Wow, 2 posts in 2 days, crazy.

OK, just a short update to let you know about some amazing music I found online.
I found this guy called Ólafur Arnalds, in April of this year he recorded seven songs over 7 days and released them one per day day, for free. known as the 'Found Songs' album.

His music is primarily instrumental piano / string pieces (he supported Sigur Rós and a quote from his website reads: "Breaking classical music out of the tweed jacket and loafers and putting it into a t-shirt and trainers", which should give you some indication of what to expect) and it is some amazing stuff.

Check it out:




Seeing as this music is free I feel no guilt in posting the links for you here (Suck it major labels!):

  1. Erla's Waltz
  2. Raein
  3. Romance
  4. Allt varð hljótt
  5. Lost Song
  6. Faun
  7. Ljósið
Spread The Word!

Obviously, you can support him by actually paying for a reasonably priced, high quality download, CD or vinyl from here.

Please do, and remember 'sharing is caring'.

EDIT: you can also listen for free on Spotify
