Bleep

Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds releases his fourth solo LP via Decca. re:member will come as pretty standard listening to anyone who’s familiar with Arnalds’ previous output. Across the dozen tracks here Arnalds favours a combination of chamber and electronic instruments. Piano, synths, strings, woodwind and the occasional human voice dovetail throughout the album. From time to time Arnalds bolts a techno beat onto these pieces, a technique that he likely picked up from his time in Kiasmos. SOHN provides some guest vocals on ‘unfold’. All in all re:member is another Olafur Arnalds record that does all of the things that Olafur Arnalds records do.
