Celebrating Life

Celebrating Life
$33.99

Celebrating Life is the first full-length release from Icelandic artist Björn Kristiansson and reflects a life in music full of experiences. The oldest of these eight tracks are up to six years old, and Morr label-head Thomas Morr has been their eager and attentive listener. How does a punch in the belly sound? Kristiansson has written a song about it called “Spoonstabber,” where you'll hear an elegiac Tetris, encapsulated by delaying beats, tumbling samples, guitars, trumpets and a melody that goes on for an eternity. Borko – a musician for film and theater as well as a music teacher at a primary school in Reykjavik – expresses melancholy and nostalgia through rhythm-machines.
