about
Composed for the new Netflix hit series Katla, Icelandic multi-instrumentalist and composer Högni Egilsson has created ‘Sensus Terrae (Voice of Katla)’; a sonic exploration bringing the heart of the volcano to life.
Using seismic data, the renowned artist, formerly of GusGus, has teamed up with lead actor and singer GDRN, creating something otherworldly.
"Inside Katla, there are eight active areas that have their own earthquake frequency. We took these frequencies and transform them into musical expressions. The volcanic activity is actually a conversation between these eight areas – eight voices inside Katla.”
Stop what you’re doing, put on your headphones, and let the volcano Katla sing you the song of her people.
lyrics
ég sé heima alla
er hulinn myrkri og sól
ég er allra hvela dreki
þitt bergmál og þúsund storma skjól

I can't get over how superb this album is. It's one of the few full-albums purchases I've made in a very long time. It's been about a month now and I've listened to it all the way through several times. Nils' moods and textures are so musical and smooth, I feel like I've been transported to another place and time.

() by Sigur Rós is my first introduction to the genre of Post Rock. I remember vividly as a kid watching Vanilla Sky's ending, as he takes a leap of faith to wake up from the terrible nightmare he has been experiencing. It was a genius idea to incorporate the Untitled 4 track from this album also known as "Njósnavélin" to convey the correct emotions to the viewers of the movie. () is Sigur Rós most melancholic album to date in my opinion.

It's hard to name a single track as favourite. This album as a whole is an outstanding composition and one of the best I've heard this year, so far. freshmare
