Beguilingly beautiful folk / indie pop of the four times with the "Icelandic Music Award" excellent Ragga Gröndal. With a previously six solo albums, working for film and theater, as well as four awards with the "Icelandic Music Award" Ragga Gröndal is one of the most successful and popular musicians of her home, where in 2006 on the label 12 Tonar (including Johann Johannson, Olöf Arnold's) published "Þjódlög" (folk songs) gave her the biggest boost in popularity. Overall, the sympathetic Icelander has already sold over 35,000 albums in their native country: A clear proof of quality, considering that Iceland has just 300,000 inhabitants. After "Astrocat Lullaby" (2012) published the living in Reykjavik and Berlin, songwriter and pianist who is often compared to Tori Amos and Kate Bush, now their new album "Svefnsljod": Again nine fascinating, diverse arranged songs with unconventional rhythms and unmistakable Nordic handwriting, combine the touching melancholy folk with reveling indie pop and let the riveting, pleasant gentle voice of the Icelandic develop their full brilliance. The singer also makes this album a big step forward and it will most certainly resonate internationally.
