Bedroom Community

Excellence in ambience

This is an expressive, emotional triumph for accomplished artist and long-time Björk producer Sigurðsson, now stepping out solo. Recorded in Iceland, the set combines many elements that Sigurðsson has favored in his work with others, from skillfully rendered elecro-beds to the nature-focused lyrics (“Evolution of Waters”, “Winter Sleep”), tightly focused moods, Eastern influences (“A Symmetry”) and intriguingly hidden, clicking ghosts of instruments and voices that weave in and out almost beyond detection. It’s evocative and detailed, and it’s all Sigurðsson’s own.
