Product Description

Ólafur Arnalds, the innovative Icelandic composer, presents a captivating journey through sound with his 2010 release, …And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness. This neoclassical and minimalist masterpiece, released under the Erased Tapes label, spans 43 minutes of ethereal beauty and intricate composition. The album features nine tracks, each a delicate interplay of piano, strings, and electronic elements, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape. Arnalds' signature style shines through in tracks like "Þú ert sólin" and "Tunglið," blending traditional instruments with subtle electronic textures. The album's title track, "Þau hafa sloppið undan þunga myrkursins," serves as a powerful conclusion, leaving a lasting impression. …And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness is a testament to Arnalds' ability to evoke deep emotion and introspection through his music, making it a standout work in his discography.

This 2024 Reissue LP is pressed on Clear vinyl.
