^^
they have no Wiki page so i googled them...
from Iceland
"in flight" is their second album
have drawn comparisons to Pink Floyd
both album covers have sea shore images.

i will listen to the album tomorrow simply because i have not heard of them.

theyre the fifth artist from Iceland im aware of now after:

Bjork
Johann Johansson
Of Monsters And Men
Kaleo

They certainly sound a bit like the Floyd but they don't have that polished sound. A bit rough around the edges but at least it's something that is interesting to listen to.

PAUL WELLER  "heliocentric" vinyl/cd 2000

his fifth solo album
rock, folk, psychedelic sounds abound along with the use of the "hurdy-gurdy" on several tracks...
songs range from a tribute to Ronnie Lane, love for his children, relationship breakdown and frustration at the NHS.
a very good album from Weller, one of his best and grows over time.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

favourite:






Well she's waiting, by the window
With a fading tear
That will slip in to tomorrow
And have no fear.


She may look back and blame you
But you only blame yourself
And what good would it all do you
If you thought she blamed herself.

It's a lonely life, as bits of dust and rocks
When you shake it off
It's all you have.

In the time it takes, to find another space
Get to live again
She'll run and run
Still she's waiting, by the window
With a fading tear.

Well she looks upon, high flying silver dream
How she wishes how
She could climb aboard, never coming back
Turn on it all
Still she's waiting, by the window
She has no fear

ABEL GANZ - Abel Ganz



What a gorgeous, lyrical album. Not entirely sure how I'd classify it - several styles here which is what makes it such a thoroughly enjoyable listen, IMHO. It's a little bit proggy, but lighter and more melodic (which doesn't mean it's any less worthy), and there is folk rock too, and even a little jazzy moment or two. Interested to note that Jerry Donahue of Fairport Convention and Fotheringay appears here, briefly. This was released in 2014, and is the album prior to 2020's The Life of the Honeybee & Other Moments of Clarity. I'm going backwards again. Lol! Next up Shooting Albatross - the latter two are quite some benchmarks so will be interesting to hear what they got up to before a bit of a shift in the personnel line-up. Definitely going to purchase this, and the honeybee. 

The whole thing .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FRPmjJc...yidFLiOWNY

First time I've listened to this one. Wow - it's impressive, IMHO. Quite emphatic (for want of a better word) by comparison to some of their other albums
