Hi all! As many of you may know, i'm releasing my second full length album in May. I have given it the title '...and they have escaped the weight of darkness' . Those expecting a mere continuation of the melancholia of my previous album may be in for a surprise, as the record may be my most uplifting and richly orchestrated work so far (largely thanks to my co-producer, Barði Jóhannsson).
Hear the album You can now get a first taste of the album at www.olafurarnalds.com . Starting today, and for the next 9 days, I will reveal one song excerpt from '...and they have escaped the weight of darkness'. O n Friday 19th of March we will reveal the album artwork and you will be able to pre-order the album. Today we added the first song sample. It's from the first tack on the album, entitled ' Þú ert Jörðin' . Stay tuned tomorrow for the next one!
New tour dates Following up the album, there will be lots and lots of touring. Starting in March with my first ever performances in Spain, Taiwan and China! There will be a few mid-european dates in May but the main part will be in the fall, so stay tuned!
