Samaris release ‘Silkidrangar Sessions’ – a companion to last year’s ‘Silkidrangar’ debut, containing re-worked tracks from the original and released a year on.
Combining disparate elements of electronics (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson, aka ‘Doddi’), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and Jófríður Ákadóttir’s enchanting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems.
