Here we hear mostly a delicate, warm and sweet atmosphere with a perfect combination of piano with acoustic instruments, some environmental sounds, two voices that combine very well (male & female), with on one hand Múm's vocalist Kristín Anna Valtysdóttir and her oversweet voice, (see review of Múm on next page ) and Dagur Kári from the group Slowblow. Even when a few songs are art-pop-orientated, there has been care taken to make the group sound interesting, not only in just sounds but also in use of rhythms and use of instrumentation in general. Everything hangs well together, but there are a few tracks which have some slow variations leaning towards indierock, with one track most different, without really disturbing, with a distorted voice, titled “Happiness in your face”. But also “Dark Horse”, a softer track is build in a similar way. In a filmic spoken word way, “Hamburger cemetery” continues with the feeling, but here it gets more the feeling of just a one man led band. Last song, “Phantom of my organ” concludes with Kristín accompanying like before. A fine album.
