ORVAR SMARASON 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: RECOMMENDED
Three acclaimed musicians, one incredible way to start your 2022 music collection. With members boasting heritage including the mighty FM Belfast and mum, we shouldn't need to explain there's real pedigree here, and in generous, beautifully sung, emotionally captivating spades. From the tender quiet of 'Afterparty', to the more rousing, chart-worthy 'Where The Maps Run Out', one thing is clear from the off - song craft is rarely so well accomplished.

For the most part, concerned with hushed atmospheres and subtle but effective technique, highlights for us include the gentile vocal harmonies of 'Shame', the swooning neo-journeyman sound of 'Tell Your New Lovers', and the unassuming but unarguably infectious 'Today I Wrote Nothing', but ultimately this one is about diving in and fully immersing yourself in the complete package.
