Release Notes:
You might remember Amiina, the Icelandic string quartet, from their previous
work with Sigur Ros on ( ) and Takk. Although Sigur Ros definitely overshadowed
Amiina on those albums, their sweet, soft melodies were audible somewhere in
the layers of Sigur RosÆs work. Now, you can hear those melodies on their own,
on AmiinaÆs first LP, Kurr. When I first heard about this album, I was worried
that without Sigur Ros, Amiina would sound too bland and simplistic. Thankfully,
thatÆs definitely not the case. KurrÆs lush sounds stand firmly on their own too
feet. ItÆs almost too easy to get swept up by their beauty. When you first
listen to Kurr, youÆll probably find the end coming well before you thought;
itÆs that kind of album.
