Watch & Listen: Ólafur Arnalds's second Living Room Song, 'Near Light'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater October 4th, 2011

Yesterday we ran the first of Ólafur Arnalds' Living Room Songs which was, aptly enough, called 'Fyrsta' - Icelandic for 'first'. A brief explanation is that, like Found Songs, Ólafur is writing, recording and releasing a song a day for the whole of this week.

The second track is now up, entitled 'Near Light'. It features his mum and sister, which is nice. You can download it from here and watch the video below:

We'll have more from Mr Arnalds in the week. What's left of it, anyway.
