Ólöf Arnalds
Ólöf Arnalds is an Icelandic singer and multi-instrumentalist. Classically educated on the violin, viola and self-taught on guitar and charango, Ólöf's most distinctive asset is, nonetheless, her voice - instantly captivating and possessed of a magical, otherworldly quality.
Favourably compared with the likes of Vashti Bunyan, Judee Sill and Kate Bush, Ólöf's approach to making music remains highly individual: playful but intimate; accessible and uplifting, yet deeply personal and suffused with a timelessness that goes beyond the puckish inscrutability of her native tongue.
Ólöf has quickly proved herself a magnetic, self-assured stage performer, reliant as much on vaudevillian charm and even outright bawdiness, as much as the contrasting delicacy of her song delivery.
Ólöf toured with experimental electronic group Múm for several years before releasing debut album Við og Við in Iceland in 2007 and collaborating with Björk, Stórsveit Nix Noltes, Mugison, Slowblow and Skúli Sverrisson among others.
