The Importance of Birds

Hallgrímsson has written and produced seven original tracks for an EP that is an observation and reflection on the fragility of life and the ever-changing and growing relationships with those closest to us. He creates a soundworld of subtle beauty, consisting of poignant but uplifting solo piano lines. These are at times underpinned by warm, gently shifting string arrangements and/or layers of flowing electronica that bear us ever further along a winding musical path.

“Hallgrímsson has an innate understanding of using space and quiet to make a point.” – Higher Plain Music

The EP will be released digitally today and on 180g vinyl on 31 October. The LP set also includes a signed art card in vinyl version.
