Music of the Moment

In The Silence - Ásgeir 

I have had this album on repeat for three days straight, now. Ever since the roommate told me about hearing "King and Cross" on the radio and played it for me, I have been obsessed with the entire album. Ásgeir is an Icelandic solo singer-songwriter and so the album was originally put out in his native language, but was eventually translated and released in English. So this is the English version. However I heard one of the Icelandic versions for the first time last night, and it was pretty incredible. His sound is remniscent of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, José González.

Stand out tracks: Higher, King and Cross, Was There Nothing?, Torrent, Going Home.


Also worth checking out is his cover of "Stolen Dance" by Milky Chance.
