7.5 out of 10A little bit ago Ólafur Arnalds released his "Found Songs" album. "Found Songs" was an idea he had where a new track was released every day, which was created and released within 24 hours and made exclusively available online as a free download on Erasedtapes.com. Some of the songs were brand new ideas, some were old ideas that were just never finished. Each track is a gorgeous landscape of arctic high brow romanticism.
On "Found Songs" Mr. Arnalds goes more minimal with his brand of Neo Classical music. Piano is accompanied by lush string arrangements on nearly every track. The track "Lost Song" is also accompanied by a quiet, but crunchy electronic beat. If like Neo Classical/Classical Piano music this will be right up your alley.
It's elegant, it's serene, it's consoling, and best of all it's FREE. One more thing, make sure you're sitting down when listening to "Raein" ..it has the ability to knock you off your feet when you least expect it.
Standout Tracks: Erla's Waltz, Raein, Lost Song
