Ólöf Arnalds
I hate to just say “go here and download this right now”, but go here and download this right now. Ólöf Arnalds is a member of Múm and Við Og Við is a solo album of absolutely stunningly gorgeous folk. Vashti Bunyan is an obvious reference point because they have similar voices, but the similarities run deeper than that. There’s the timelessness and classiness of the proceedings. And neither were afraid to just go ‘la la la’ for a bit. Also, she’s singing in Icelandic (presumably. She could be singing in Finnish for all I know. I’m a dumb American.)
