Isafjørd release new music video and single

Icelandic post-rockers ISAFJØRD have shared their brand new single and video for ‘Mín Svarta Hlið‘. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album “Hjartastaki”, due for release 2nd December via Svart Records. You can pre-save the album here.

On the new single, the band state:

“‘Mín Svarta Hlið‘ is about an underlying mental illness, invisible to others then yourself. The guitar solo was recorded in one take and the drums only had two mics, giving the song a 60s sound vibe.”

ISAFJØRD‘s new album, “Hjartastjak”, is an infectious rush of euphoric melancholy, quiet-loud dynamism, lush instrumentation and unforgettable atmospheric landscapes of song. Meeting on the road, night creatures of the same renowned Reykjavik music scene, Ragnar Zolberg playing live session bass for Sólstafir, Addi Tryggvason and Ragnar’s musical paths finally intersect in ISAFJØRD with a sound that reaches like a stalactite from the past into a gleaming future.

Now coming of age, matured into a shimmering diamond of Icelandic pop at its finest, ISAFJØRD is on another plain from Addi’s own Sólstafir, where their cinematic metal roots have been retraced into sweeping glacial song-craft. A country known for their honest and heart–wrenching emotional take on pop music with Björk and SigurRós, ISAFJØRD gives a new definition to “landscape music”. When an album feels like a place you want to inhabit and experience, “Hjartastjaki” is a journey that you’re going to want to take.
