{"product_id":"olafur-arnalds-variations-of-static_aec-erat8-1","title":"Olafur Arnalds - Variations Of Static","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the debut release by Iceland's Ólafur Arnold's and the first North American release for the London-based cinematic music label Erased Tapes Records. Arnold's has immersed himself completely in the world of delicate symphonic composition in a near-weightless orchestral undertaking. Mixing strings with loops, ambience, electronics and beats, Arnold's combines classical instrumentation with an indie-rock aesthetic that draws comparison to Sigur Rós. Eulogy for Evolution is an evocative, orchestral suite that takes the listener on a journey, representing different periods of life from birth to death through slow-building and hauntingly melodic chamber music. It comes with a free download voucher for the 11-track Erased Tapes Collection I compilation to celebrate the label's 1st anniversary. Ólafur Arnold's and his live string quartet performed at unique venues in the UK, including the oldest custom-built concert hall in Europe, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford, before they continued playing mostly sold-out shows throughout the rest of Europe. Over 500 people came to see Ólafur at the State-X Newforms Festival in Den Haag alongside Aphex Twin, as well as at Iceland Airwaves with Amiina and Jóhann Jóhannsson in Brussels. He is already working on his second full-length record and a string arrangement for Erased Tapes friends, 65daysofstatic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Vinyl \/ Variations Of Static Erased Tapes","offer_id":49001931702580,"sku":"ERAT8.1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/1380151.jpg?v=1783526940","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/olafur-arnalds-variations-of-static_aec-erat8-1","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
