Ólafur Arnalds - ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness

Born in 1987, Ólafur Arnalds hails from the suburban Icelandic town, Mosfellsbær, just a few kilometres outside of Reykjavík.

Just discovered Mr. Arnalds this summer and have had him on loop ever since, (alternating with Balmorhea to avoid saturation!).
