The sixth album from this band from Iceland.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of synths and programming.
The band returned again after a one year long album break. This time with another movie soundtrack.
Hlemmur clocks in at forty minutes.
The music is ambient post-rock.
Cinematic rock is another very good label here as this is a movie soundtrack.
These forty minutes consists of small pieces of music which clearly work best within a movie setting. One of the pieces reminds me of the well known Abide By Me psalm.
The music is both sad and melancholic.
This is clearly not a fully blooded Sigur Ros studio album. It is still a decent enough album and worth checking out if minimalistic cinematic rock is your thing.
