Review by Paul Faller

A stunning record in its own right.»

Following the release of their self-titled debut full length last year, Icelandic 3-piece Samaris release their new album 'Silkidrangar' via One Little Indian. Combining disparate elements of electronics, clarinet and Jofriaur Akadottir's haunting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems. The effect is simultaneously ancient and modern - an ethereal sound filled with dark spaces and alien atmosphere.
