ARSTIDIR - Svefns Og Voku Skil (Black Vinyl) (Sealed) (LP)

Originally released in 2011, ?RST??IR's first album Svefns og voku skil' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, oLAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR RoS. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as ?RST??IR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.
