From Iceland — Valdimar: Undraland

Published March 16, 2011

A laid-back collection of organ-driven pop, this album doesn’t do much of anything too interesting or remarkable, just kind of chilling in its own little universe of indolence. None of this would be that special if it weren’t for the somewhat surprising fact that this album is actually pretty damn good. Not great, but, you know, pretty good. Check out ‘Áfram’, ‘Yfirgefinn’ and the title track for some cool shit going on, as well as track two, whose name is too long for this review.
