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 Paul Draper EP One Rock And Pop | Kscope | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 10th June 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Draper EP One £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE927 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 10th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wunderhorse Cub Rock And Pop | Communion | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th September 2022 £19.00 Select options Wunderhorse Cub £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Communion Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Imelda May 11 Past The Hour Rock And Pop | Decca | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd April 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Imelda May 11 Past The Hour £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Decca SKU: 0898647 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sorority Noise Joy, Departed Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 15th June 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sorority Noise Joy, Departed £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: TSR128LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brent Cash The New High Rock And Pop | Marina | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brent Cash The New High £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Marina SKU: MA81LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Deap Vally Marriage Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd April 2022 £20.00 Select options Deap Vally Marriage £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Messenger Illusory Blues Limited Edition Rock And Pop | Code 7 - Swart Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th May 2014 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Messenger Illusory Blues Limited Edition £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Code 7 - Swart Records SKU: SVR260LTD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mattiel Mattiel Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 10th July 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mattiel Mattiel £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP158C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Donald Fagen The Nightfly Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 180g, 1LP Released 5th May 2012 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Donald Fagen The Nightfly £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0093624952237 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th May 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View SZA SOS Rock And Pop | Sony | 2LP Released 19th May 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders SZA SOS £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony SKU: 19658779211 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
