Make no mistake, Ólafur Arnalds’s Found Songs is classical music. While considerably less epic than albums from fellow Iceland natives Sigur Rós, Found Songs is intimately beautiful and will potentially intrigue those unfamiliar with its classical influences. But, ultimately, I’d rather listen to Chopin to get my melancholy classical fix.
Reminds us of: Satie | Chopin | Sigur Rós as chamber music
