Amiina are 4 Icelandic ladies, sometime Sigur Ros collaborators who have also worked with Efterklang.  Their last release set our world alight and here’s the full length release we’ve been waiting for.  Think minimal but sweeping sounds are created with a whole range of expertly played instrments (strings, brass, drums, harpsichord) and use is made of less conventional ’instruments’ such as wine glasses, bells, metalophones, Celtic harps, water glasses, musical saws, glockenspiels and kalimbas.  All this is set off with a bit of subdued wonderment creating an evocative and distinctively Icelandic sound.
