The results, filmed and released weekly, ranged from a solo brass player to a choir to Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir of Of Monsters and Men — each piece shaped as much by its location and collaborator as by Arnalds himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat could have been a gimmick holds together as a genuinely coherent record, largely because Arnalds' own writing — patient, melodic, unmistakably Icelandic in its sense of space — runs through every piece regardless of who's playing on it. It's as close as his catalogue gets to a travelogue, and one of the most purely personal records he's made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reissue marks the album's first time on colour vinyl, pressed in green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nils Frahm, Hania Rani.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decca - Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54881554530572,"sku":"12B-01664","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/3000x3000bb_ddfa1d8b-a856-403a-9eac-f9a81491129b.jpg?v=1785013561","url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/products\/olafur-arnalds-island-songs","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
