Sóley Stefánsdóttir’s solo debut is just devine.
Puts me in mind of Stina Nordenstam’s delicious debut ‘Memories of a Color’ with a sprinkling of CoCoRosie’s debut ‘Noah’s Ark’.

For distributors go to Moor Music.
If you are in the UK, Boomkat have MP3, FLAC and CD versions.

A quite little album with a soft country/folk/blues edge to it.
Nice and relaxing.

Loving them from last year with their sweet debut release Kurr, they have done a version of OMD’s ‘Souvenir in December’ which you can hear over at their website.
Knitted hats-off-to-you girls… Hildur Ársælsdóttir, Edda Rún Ólafsdóttir, Maria Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir.

Ms Torrini’s lastest album Me And Armini is definitely in my top five of 2008.
It gets better, Emiliana is hitting the UK in March 2009.
Deep Joy.

Emiliana is back with a great new album. I adored her 1999 Love in the Time of Science and the 2005 Fisherman’s Woman. This release builds and improves on both. Excellent.
Be sure to check out her revamped website to get digital and physical versions.

Time for a delicate chill-out album from the Icelandic quartet consisting of Hildur Ársælsdóttir, Edda Rún Ólafsdóttir, Maria Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir.
They have worked with Sigur Ros in the studio and live, so that will give you an idea of the sort of chilledness of their work.
Wiki states that “The song “Hilli” was released on December 10, 2007 as the second single from the album Kurr. It is a collaboration between Amiina and Lee Hazelwood whose vocals (the last recording before his death) are mixed with a reworked version of the original song.”
How about that…

I forget how I was introduced to this diamond. Which is a shame. Full respect to whomever switched me on to her. Wednesday’s Child is a track from her fabulous CD Love in the Time of Science which goes from soft and duvet like, to Shirley Bassey Big on the track Telepathy. Her georgous Fisherman’s Woman CD is a total must have also, but more about that later.
