Ólöf Arnalds Tours U.S., Plays SXSW
“a rich and musically complex experience.”—8.0 Pitchfork
“fragile and beautiful.”—KCRW
“While Arnalds’ voice is certainly quirky, it’s also heartwarming and beautiful. With her gently plucked guitar lines and loving melodies, her songs emit an almost magical glow.”— NPR Music
“It compels us to dream a little, to drive a little and to feel abnormally lost and faint.”
—Daytrotter
Ólöf Arnalds returns to the states for her first run of dates in 2011 performing a series of shows at SXSW including the Brooklyn Vegan, Paste and Other Music Parties. Additionally, she will perform a string of shows on the west coast before performing at City Winery for the Anthology of Film Archives Honors on April 27. (See dates below).
Ólöf continues to support her 2010 One Little Indian sophomore release Innundir skinni. She recently won a Kumar award for the “Album of the Year” in Iceland, was nominated for four Icelandic Music Awards, where she took home "Songwriter of the Year" and was nominated for a Nordic Prize in their inaugural year. Innundir skinni was one of Uncut Magazine’s "Top 50 albums of 2010” and her song “Madrid” was last years’ iTunes UK "Song of the Year." Ólöf recently returned from an Australian tour where she opened solo, acoustic for Grinderman in Tasmania and received a five- star live review from the Sydney Morning Herald for her Sydney Festival show at the Spiegeltent."
Recorded throughout 2009, Innundir skinni reunited Ólöf with producing partner by Kjartan Sveinsson of Sigur Rós. The duo sought to make a less minimalist album than her direct to tape debut Við Og Við. Classically educated on the violin and self-taught on the viola, guitar and charango, Ólöf most distinctive instrument is her voice. Fellow countryman Björk said “it’s somewhere between a child and an old woman," and also duetted Ólöf on the track “Surrender.” The album includes both Ólöf’s first recorded songs in English as well as a duet with Ragnar Kjartansson on “Crazy Car.”
Ólöf released her U.S. debut Við Og Við in 2009. The album caught notice of international press including The New York Times, Vanity Fair, NME and SPIN. Time Out New York described her having “… the kind of voice that can silence a room, such is its sweetness," while Rolling Stone described her songs being “fragile as tiny china swans.” Meanwhile, Paste magazine dubbed Við Og Við “impossibly lovely” and voted it #38 in its "Top 100 Albums" list. eMusic named it among the "100 Best Albums of the Decade,"while at home the album accrued a host of accolades including, "Best Alternative Album" at the Iceland Music Awards and a "Record of the Year" nod from Iceland’s principal daily newspaper, Morgunblaðið.
