Gísli Gunnarsson - Úr Öskunni (2025)

Icelandic composer and multi-instrumentalist Gísli Gunnarsson has released his new album, "Úr Öskunni" ("From the Ashes"), which blends modern classical with influences from post-rock, black metal, and shoegaze. The album reflects the composer's recent personal experience involving the loss of his home in the fishing village of Grindavik, Iceland, following an evacuation caused by natural forces. The music is full of contrasts, exploring themes of grief, longing for home, and the realization of irreversible loss. The album, which may appeal to fans of Sigur Rós and Ólafur Arnalds, guides the listener through emotionally rich soundscapes that combine the raw beauty of Iceland with personal tragedy.
