Ásgeir - In the Silence

Review by Paul Faller

Ásgeir makes music that reflects his country while still feeling relatable to the rest of the world - so who can blame him for wanting to reach as many people as possible?»

Icelandic troubadour Asgeir is the biggest export in Iceland next to Bjork. His album is owned by One in 10 Icelanders. Now comes an English language version of the record, with John Grant assisting in the translation of the lyrics. However, his knack for melody and gorgeous harmonies coupled with his amazing sense of rhythm and virtuosity on acoustic guitar will make him a household name, no matter what language he's speaking. For fans of Justin Vernon, Jeff Buckley, Antony and Ben Howard.
