• SÓLSTAFIR - 'Ótta' CD

Icelandic post-rock heathens SÓLSTAFIR return with the stunning new album "Ótta", full of pure atmospheres, beautiful melodies, and bleak isolation. The follow-up 2011's epic "Svartir Sandar", "Ótta" is a powerful and moving statement of intent that burns with the beauty of an aurora. Showing SÓLSTAFIR at the height of their powers, it unfolds with patience and purpose in equal measure. With "Ótta" this extraordinary quartet have crafted an album that is at once familiar, ancient, and timeless, staying close to their Icelandic roots. The album flows according to an old Icelandic form of time-keeping, similar to the monastic hours or Eykt (one eighth of a solar day). The eight tracks, beginning with a representation of midnight, move through each Eyktir in the day, circling back to midnight. "Liquid fire and molten ice...elements on the cusp; always in transition and defying the natural order but possessing stark grandeur and hidden danger... so with Iceland; so with Solstafir". Comes with 16-page booklet.
