Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

A vibrant, acoustic-leaning shift from the Icelandic icons. Swapping icy isolation for sun-drenched euphoria, it bursts with brass, handclaps, and raw joy.

A sudden rush of acoustic guitars and bare feet stomping on wooden floorboards shatters the band’s usual glacial silence. This music smells like wet grass after a summer rain, trading their signature bowed-guitar fog for bright brass, acoustic strumming, and handclaps. You hear a band stepping out of the dark studio and into the sun, letting the wind catch their voices. It is a warm, breathing record that finally lets the daylight in.

Moments Worth Listening For
01GobbledigookThe opening track 'Gobbledigook' completely discards bowed guitars for a driving, acoustic-folk rhythm driven by frantic handclaps and tribal-style percussion.
05FestivalA massive, slow-building vocal crescendo on 'Festival' transitions from a quiet, solo falsetto into a triumphant, brass-heavy celebration.
11All AlrightThe closing track 'All Alright' marks the very first time the band features a song sung entirely in English.
