Olof Arnalds - Innundir Skinni

Review by Neil Ashman

Innundir Skinni is a modest little record compared to the self-indulgence of Joanna Newsom’s latest or grandiose ambitions of countrymen like Sigur Rós, but its charms are plentiful and in her own humble, but distinct, way Ólöf Arnalds confounds expectations. »
