, and Katy Perry each running their respective stop signs and colliding head-on with one another. That’s. Put indelicately, the combination is weird; put much more diplomatically, it’s surprising.
Embracing new tones and styles works as often for the group as not. “Waiting For The Snow” is prototypical given a simple electronic update, layering lo-fi slow-mo choral effects beneath the ache of Hilmarsdóttir’s vocals. “Ahay,” track number two, feels like cheap elevator music that’s occasionally uplifted by Hilmarsdóttir’s harmony with co-singer Ragnar Þórhallsson.’s breakout song, “Little Talks,” is arguably that song’s most important element, the standout detail that caught listeners’ attention and put the band on radars across the U.S.
Lyrically, the band remains firmly rooted in nature. “Oh, what a shame that I row / To the edge just so that I can fall,” Hilmarsdóttir laments on “Róróró,” conjuring the image of a mighty Icelandic waterfall to contrast with her more humbled image, paddling toward inevitable oblivion.
