Late Night Tales: Ólafur Arnalds

Description

Icelandic classical, experimental and soundtrack composer Ólafur Arnalds steps away from the loops and Broadchurch OSTs to conjure yet another sublime Late Night Tales saga. Carefully balancing between contemporary odysseys (‘Jomsvikingarimur’), dense futuristic electronic weaves (‘Last Remnants’), fuzzy 22nd century pop (‘A Noise’) sludgy cosmic funk (‘Jasmine’) and introspective soul (‘Our Love Comes Back’), Ólafur blows wave after woozy wave of soft sonic conjurations in a way that’s broad, detailed and cleverly considered.
