I'm loving this new song "Forever" from Julianna Barwick , off her upcoming album Nepenthe (out August 20 via Dead Oceans). Take a listen below in her album trailer below. Nepenthe is Julianna's third full-length album, which was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland, in the dark cold days of February. In ancient Greek literature, nepenthe was a magic drug of forgetfulness used to wipe out grief and sorrow. The title suggested itself to Julianna, who experienced a death in her own family in the middle of making the record, but it also refers [...]
We've been away for a bit. Call it what you will – compassionate leave, or whatever else – but it felt good to escape the internet, if only for a brief while. Don't get me wrong – I find music to be the best method of utmost escapism, though there comes a point at which another extraneous tweet re: Random Access Memories accompanied by a panoramic iPhone shot taken from the apex of The Shard may just prick your rage, tip you over the edge and condemn you to the murky dregs of madness. I was getting there on Monday, [...]

Flowers (produced by Sigur Ros' / Jonsi's Alex Somers) is the third album by Icelandic pop artist Sin Fang . In many ways this release is his most accessible to date, filled with bright, textured landscapes that make the album feel beautiful and busy, but never cluttered. "What's Wrong With Your Eyes" is a highlight, and one of the songs I had on repeat. On Wednesday, Sing Fang released the accompanying visuals, and they're no less captivating than the song itself. According to director Mani Sigfsson, "The video is about a man slowly [...]
Icelandic twin sisters Pascal Pinon just released a video for 'Bloom', the new single off ' Twosomeness ', an album produced by Alex Somers ( Sígur Rós , Jonsí ) and filled with delicate melodies and profound lyrics. This new video makes me want to eat candy and cupcakes - not sure it's because of the pastel colours and subtle superimposition of images or because the song makes me so melancholic that I want some comfort food. Either way, this is a truly touching song and a beautifully made video (directed by the Russian photographer Alísa [...]
![SIGUR ROS SOARS IN WITH THEIR NEW SINGLE ‘ISJAKI’ [VIDEO]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4913786_lg.jpg)
With their new album Kveikur approaching, Sigur Rós has released another single to tide millions of eager fans over, this time in the form of a lyric video. Although certainly still dense, "Ísjaki" is a bit brighter and celebratory than the dark material from the album we've heard so far. The percussion is prominent and thundering, acting as a sort of battle cry throughout the song. The strings and Jonsi's vocals create the signature atmosphere that Sigur Rós is well known for - sounding as though they could reach all the way across the [...]
Sigur Rós @ UIC Pavillion, Chicago (4/2/13) Sigur Rós live is unlike any other rock concert experience out there. They begin the night behind a giant screen which projects large silhouette of themselves. The guitar is primarily played using a cello bow. There’s enough backing musicians on stage to perhaps qualify as a small orchestra. Many of the songs are sung in a made-up language nicknamed Hopelandic, the rest in Icelandic (singing a long is not really an option). There’s almost zero crowd interaction from the band at any point. The [...]

Alors que l'on apprend à peine l'énorme bonne nouvelle qui est la venue de Sigur Rós aux Nuits de Fourvière, le groupe a dévoilé dans la foulée le nom de leur prochain album avec la cover, tracklist et date de sortie en plus d'un aperçu. C'est XL Recordings ( Beggars Group France pour nous autres) qui héberge ce nouvel opus prêt à sortir le 16 juin dans le monde. Un neuf titres qui est annoncé comme le premier en trio. C'est donc jón þór birgisson, georg hólm et orri páll dýrason qui se [...]
Here is who we listen to and wish had more tweets in them.
Jónsi, Georg and Orri – Iceland's finest liberators of isolated post-rock – are missing a member this spring. Following the departure of longtime keyboardist and musical collaborator Kjartan Sveinsson in January, the band have been touring Valtari of yesteryear across much of the world with an entirely new setup though as ever, a maze of session musicians follow their every step and for this, their latest jaunt, modest string, brass and choir sections converge with the trio onstage. It's upon a deadpan, cold winter breeze that Sigur Rós bring Valtari to Brixton [...]
The Chainsmokers , a New-York based duo consisting of Andrew Winter and Alex Pall, are best described as “DJs, Producers, Retired JV High School Athletes, and Self-Proclaimed Male Models”. When they aren't busy reliving memories of game-winning touchdowns or posing as underwear models, they also happen to make some pretty fantastic progressive house music. If you're a fan of four-to-the-floor, hands-in-the-air music, you need to check these guys out. Remixing Little Daylight's Overdose , the duo have transformed a sugar-sweet indie song into an extremely satisfying piece of progressive house. Positive vibes, shimmering synths, lazer [...]

According to Úlfur : Every track is a collage of field-recordings made while travelling. I met [...]

Sometimes life feels like nothing else than a big journey. A constant one between different places, unknown future, past memories and the opportunity to meet a lot of people along the way. English singer/songwriter WILL SAMSON can sing a song about this feeling. Or better said - he already did in the past with the tender The post NBHAP Exclusive: Guestmix #12 - Will Samson appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Just a few short weeks after bringing you an absolutely huge remix of Jonsi , New York duo The Chainsmokers are back with yet another epic tune. Tackling Tonite Only's We Run The Nite , Alex and Drew have kept in line with the originals big room sound, but infused their own style by grasping onto the build-ups of the track, creating a smooth sailing sound punctured by flavorful electro drops. Once again their track choice is refreshing, as we're constantly flooded with different versions of the same new single these days. Not to mention the [...]
Hello friends. Welcome to Friday Mixtape number 179. It's a blizzard out there today. I hope you this mixtape keeps you nice and warm. I took this photograph at Burning Man. It features a giant mechanical fire breathing octopus called El Pulpo Mecanico . The fire can be played like a musical instrument and each of the octopus' tentacles move up and down. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The piece was created by Duane Flatmo. Download the high resolution version of this photograph . (8MB) Here my photos from [...]

Word travels fast, especially in New York City. We've been hearing bits here and there about The Chainsmokers , a producer/DJ duo comprised of Alex Pall and Andy Winter, around parties for a good bit now. They're a fairly new duo and recently came out with their second original tune "The Rookie", which received support from people like Basto, Dzeko and Torres, Ken Loi, Disfunktion, Yves V, Henrix, Tom Buster and more. They're back with a bootleg remix of Jonsi's "Around Us", and we're digging it! What do you [...]
Delicate, light and glacial, the music of Søren Løkke Juul , who goes by the name Indians , evokes a wintry isolation that brings together the intimacy of Bon Iver and the smoothness of Sigur Ros on his debut album, Somewhere Else . A fine testament would be the folk imbued “ I Am Haunted ” with Justin Vernon ’s woodsy twang on accompanied [...]
