Produced by Sigur Ros’ Kjartan Sveinsson and Davíð Þór Jónsson, Icelandic singer Olöf Arnaulds is set to release the follow up to her 2007 “Við og Við” debut, “Innundir Skinni”, via One Little Indian on September 13.
Olöf left Iceland for the UK just as the Eyjaffjallajökull volcano began to erupt. After playing to and impressing a select UK crowd Cafe Oto in April, Olöf has got the music heads chattering in New York after sharing stages with Dirty Projectors, Blonde Redhead and John Vanderslice.
“Innundir Skinni” will beat a new sonic pathway for the singer, with English sung single “Surrender” featuring vocals from Bjork. New single “Crazy Car” will be released on September 6, a duet with Ragnar Kjartansson, the husband of visual artist Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir, who created the distinctive artwork on “Innundir Skinni.”
Last in the UK supporting Air in July, her first UK headline tour starts with Dorset’s End of the Road Festival on September 12.
