Icelandic composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Snorri Hallgrímsson releases his new inspiring project The Importance of Birds. Hallgrímsson has written and produced seven original tracks for an EP that is an observation and reflection on the fragility of life and the ever-changing and growing relationships with those closest to us. He creates a soundworld of subtle beauty, consisting of poignant but uplifting solo piano lines. These are at times underpinned by warm, gently shifting string arrangements and/or layers of flowing electronica that bear us ever further along a winding musical path. “Hallgrímsson has an innate understanding of using space and quiet to make a point.” – Higher Plain Music The EP will be released digitally today and on 180g vinyl on 31 October. The LP set also includes a signed art card in vinyl version. 1. I’ve Been Here Before2. And There Was Nowhere3. Nowhere Again, Kinder4. The Wick That Slits the Shadow5. From a Convenient Grass6.
