About

Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometers outside of Reykjavík, the 25-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide.

The highly anticipated second album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness will herald another intense year for Ólafur Arnalds, with the album accompanied by a world tour. It will bring him to the UK for his first performance with the RNCM Symphony Orchestra, conducted by André de Ridder (Nico Muhly/Damon Albarn) on July 1 at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. The 23-year old Icelandic composer continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements. — via Label
