Release Notes:
Born ┴sgeir Trausti Einarsson in the diminutive hamlet of Laugarbakki, Icelandic
singer/songwriter ┴sgeir specializes in intimate, soulful songs that span indie
electronic and atmospheric folk. An overnight success in his native Iceland,
where the then 21-year-old released his 2012 debut album, D²r≡ φ Dau≡a■÷gn, and
quickly broke every regional record in the book (it's estimated that almost ten
percent of the Icelandic population owns the album), ┴sgeir's unique songs are
made all the more idiosyncratic by the fact that his 72-year-old father, poet
Einar Georg Einarsson, provides the majority of the lyrics. In 2013, with the
help of Iceland-based American singer/songwriter John Grant, who helped to
translate the lyrics, Asgeir released an English version of D²r≡ φ Dau≡a■÷gn (In
the Silence) on the One Little Indian label. It charted in several other
countries, including the U.K. and Australia. While that album featured a mix of
acoustic guitar and wistful electronic tracks, the follow-up, 2017's Afterglow,
took on bolder, more experimental electronic textures.
