ARSTIDIR - Arstidir (Reissue) (CD)

Originally released in 2009, RST IR's first album ' rst ir' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, LAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR R S. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as RST IR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.

Recommended if you like: SIGUR R S, (later S LSTAFIR) , RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL
