Icelandic-born, Ólöf Ar­nalds has a mesmer­ising voice. In her new album, this is given the perfect showcase with delicate accompaniment consisting of harps, strings, and acoustic guitars. The only percussion comes from the finger-plucked rhythms on the guitar strings, the music lending itself to become a lullaby of beautiful melodies and harmonies. Innundir skinni illustrates a departure from Arnalds' previous releases by incorporating three English language songs into the mix.
Innundir skinni was released on 13 September. www.olofarnalds.com.
