Ólafur Arnalds - "6" (live)

This is a rather fantastic recommendation from Last Days. Ólafur Arnalds is just 19 years old! and hails from Iceland (where else?). This is taken from his "Eulogy For Evolution" debut, out on Progress(ion) Records. Combining classical instrumentation with and indierock aesthetic, there are obvious comparisons to Sigur Ros. But Arnalds is sculpting his own epic, string-laden compositions. If you head over to his myspace profile, there are two tracks available for free download.
