VAR - Vetur (2017) EN

My patience paid off, after the beautiful January EP, the Icelanders from VAR showed us a lunger (much longer) album. And it was worth waiting.

The album is recorded in both English and Icelandic. And it is still a bit more dreamy and beautiful in this second language (great, known from the EP "Á kaf" or "Loka aftur augunum"). But truth be told, also "Friendship" has its charm. The whole album, as could be expected, is full of magic. Apart from slow pace and epic guitars in backgrounds it is achieved by strings and subtle electronic effects. Sometimes the northern peace is broken by loud guitars ("Valshamar") but even in those moments the magic is still there.

The album should have a warning reading "Here be elfs".

"Vetur" is available for 10 USD.
