Why Does My Cat Spread His Paw

Hildur Gudnadottir - Without Sinking


Not that I have nothing against you, regular visitors of this Suite , but also, once again, I bring them a proposal veiled in melancholy In this case, which distinguishes the Icelandic land. Perhaps
already knew Icelandic cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir by her first album appeared in 2006 under the title Mount A , which signed with the alias Lost in Hildurness , or in any case, they may have discovered the cadences of his cello in productions Ben Frost, Jóhann Jóhannsson , Animal Collective , Throbbing Gristle, Pan Sonic and, recently, the new album Múm. If not recorded anywhere, I tell them that the recent Without Sinking is their second LP, although the first appeared under his own name.
Using his cello and some arrangements provided by Jóhann Jóhannsson and Gudni Franzson , and organ, harp, clarinet, zither or field recordings, drawing achieved Hildur harrowing environments, with no more than describe ominous scenes without letting up at any time. The drop in this bottomless pit begins, curiously, with a painful and dark piece entitled Elevation, which is followed by dramatic but poignant Overcast undoubtedly a piece of anthology. The decline be pronounced somewhat labor Erupting Light, a track that seems to presage a fatal outcome, impression vanishes completely with the calm of Circular , something like the eye of the storm. While Ascent seems to draw a glimmer of hope amid the sorrow of despotism, Opaque looks completely bombastic and dark, showing his unmistakable theatrical dyes on all four sides. Aether is a fragment that remains absorbed in its beauty for a little over five minutes, which is repeated in the elusive Whiten. The penultimate piece, Into Warmer Air, is, as your name, perhaps one of the warmest in this downhill course, and certainly prepares us for the final, reaching the hand of Unveiled and unusually quiet, unusual at least considering the wealth of emotions off the preceded it. Sinking Without is a solo album to let us fall into the realms of sorrow if only for a moment, so if you want, you can accept my advice and to listen to this marvel.
