From the breezily skipping rhythm of opener ‘German Fields’ to the pealing vocals of closer, ‘Perfect’, ‘Sudden Elevation’s particular brand of heartache is magical, dislocated and otherworldly; its harmonies complex and quietly electrifying. Produced again by longtime collaborator Skúli Sverrisson, ‘Sudden Elevation’ was largely recorded in a late autumn 2011 stint in a seaside cabin in Hvalfjörður (literally ‘Whale-fjord’), in the west of Iceland. Perhaps because it is the first album that Ólöf has recorded from start to finish, with no protracted breaks, it possesses a stronger narrative thread than its predecessors. “I was always trying to see the record as a conceptual whole, keeping a certain order of songs in mind as we recorded,” explains Ólöf. “I drew different maps of how the record would sound and feel as one complete work, which was something I really felt like doing, given the first opportunity in my life to have a continuous recording process.” Classically educated on the violin and self-taught on viola, guitar and charango, nonethe-less Ólöf’s most distinctive asset is her captivating voice, possessing spring water chasteness, seemingly innocent yet ancient (Björk once described Ólöf’s uniquely compelling vocal sound as “somewhere between a child and an old woman”). 2010’s ‘Innundir skinni’ and last year’s ‘Ólöf Sings’ covers EP attracted worldwide critical acclaim, Mojo venturing a Rising piece while Q named Ólöf as one of their Most Exciting People In Music. Major features followed in Dazed & Confused, The Guardian, Stool Pigeon, Clash and, at the end of the year, ‘Innundir skinni’ appeared in Uncut magazine’s 50 Best Albums Of 2010, as well as appearing amongst the finalists for the prestigious Nordic Music Prize that year. LP includes digital download coupon. “Navigating melody, melancholy and joy like Joanna Newsom’s little sister” – The Independent “Ethereal, sonic heaven” – Sunday Times “Gentle, vocally pure and warmly whimsical, Arnalds creates beguilingly pretty folk lullabies” – Daily Telegraph “A rare and charming talent” – The Times Artist Olof Arnalds Genre Rock And Pop Label One Little Independent Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings German Fields Bright And Still Return Again Treat Her Kindly Call It What You Want A Little Grim Fear Less Numbers And Names Sudden Elevation The Joke Onwards And Upwards Perfect Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Olof Arnalds and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Olof Arnalds Palme Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th September 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olof Arnalds Palme £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1238 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jenks Miller & Rose Cross NC Blues From WHAT Rock And Pop | Three Lobed | 1LP Released 10th June 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jenks Miller & Rose Cross NC Blues From WHAT £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Three Lobed SKU: LPTLR116 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yumi Zouma Truth or Consquences – Alternate Versions Rock And Pop | Polyvinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 7th January 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yumi Zouma Truth or Consquences – Alternate Versions £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polyvinyl SKU: PRC417LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beatles, The Live at the Liverpool Empire 7th December 1963 Rock And Pop | 1960's Records | 1LP Released 4th December 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beatles, The Live at the Liverpool Empire 7th December 1963 £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1960's Records SKU: RANDB67LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View P.S.
