The excellent Ólöf Arnalds returned at the end of last year with her fourth and most accomplished album to date.
With a sound that retains a characteristic organic lilt, she moved seamlessly into a more experimental and collaborative mindset on Palme but returned to her (language) roots for the session we cut with her during Iceland Airwaves, which you can watch above.
You can catch Arnalds in the UK this week supporting José González, with shows in London on the 11 and 12 March at Scale following by a date in Coventry (Warwick Arts Centre) on the 13 and Manchester (Academy 2) on the the 14 March.
"Hypnose" b/w "Viðihlið" is released on 23 March via One Little Indian
