Album Review

Reviewed 2011-05-02
Sindri Mar Sigfusson's project from Reykjavik. Lush and psychedelic indie pop. Electronics layered over acoustic instruments, cymbals, and xylophones. Droning vocals very much reminiscent of John Vanderslice or Luke Temple. Bursts of instrumental beauty make this album, but the orchestration crosses into melodrama at times. A ton of gems in here

RIYL: Animal Collective, Here We Go Magic, psychedelic John Vanderslice

1. 3:13. Starts with synthesized scales. Especially animal collective-like.
2. 2:38. Poppy melodies. Bird samples throughout
3. 4:25. Beautifully subdued vocals. There's a period of distortion before the song picks back up
4. 4:09.* Acoustic rock with triumphant-sounding crescendos and a circus atmosphere. Fanfarlo-esque.
5. 4:14. Dreamy and swirly
6. 3:10. Relaxed and accessible folk-rock with great instrumental flourishes
7. 3:23.* Staccato and danceable beat. Slows down in the end
8. 4:09.* Especially discordant instrumentals. Sitar? The most diversely orchestrated song
9. 3:49. bursts of distorted vocals and samples swoop in. Ends in a 70s groove
10. 2:12. Choir-like interlude track
11. 3:09. Arcade Fire-like. It's pretty straightforward
12. 4:54.* Another dance track. Optimistic and bouncy. My favorite
