What is there to say about Ólafur Arnalds that I haven't already said before? He is, hands down, one of the most talented modern classical musicians today. And luckily for us, he is always busy putting out new material, like the upcoming Another Happy Day OST that is now exclusively streaming on his AP.net profile. This is yet another hauntingly beautiful and ethereal album by Arnalds, so please take a moment and listen; songs like "Poland" and "Autumn Day" are simply breathtaking. If you like what you hear, make sure to support him and his amazing label Erased Tapes by pre-ordering the record. I hope you will fall in love with his work just as much as I have. Enjoy.

Ólafur Arnalds has written the soundtrack for the original motion picture Another Happy Day, which will be released on February 27th via Erased Tapes. Listen to the beautiful song "Poland" and head over here afterwards to pre-order the album.

Ólafur Arnalds is currently working on a new project called "Living Room Songs," for which he's creating and releasing a new song every day. Head to the replies to watch the videos for the first three songs that he has recorded so far -- they're breathtaking.

This year has been amazing for music, but there are only a few albums that can be described as breathtaking. Such is the case with Ólafur Arnalds' upcoming album, ...And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness, which will be released next week. At only 23 years old, Arnalds seems to have outdone himself yet again with this gorgeous album. Describing this any further would not do it any justice, so go listen to the album in its entirety on his AP.net profile and enjoy getting lost in the beautiful atmosphere that this young composer has created. If you like bands such as Sigur Rós and Balmorhea, then this is for you. Enjoy.

Ólafur Arnalds will release his new album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness on June 8th via Erased Tapes.
