...and They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness

Repress. Now available in limited CD/DVD version, featuring documentary "The Sky May Be Falling." olafur arnalds' highly anticipated second full-length album '...and they have escaped the weight of darkness', continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements. the sense of an organic crossover recording is reinforced by the involvement of co-producer bari johannsson of eccentric pop / rock /electronica-formation bang gang. bari has successfully coloured the brittle minimalism of previous releases through the addition of an array of new instruments. those expecting a mere continuation of the minimal melancholia of his previous albums are therefore in for a surprise, as the record may be the most uplifting and richly orchestrated work of his career.
