The Ghost That Carried Us Away

Morr’s astounding run of form continues with this gem from Iceland, possibly their finest find of the year. And that’s saying something. In the wrong hands, Sindri Mar Sigfusson’s sun-dappled, delicate indie-pop could sound twee, but – nestled perfectly among the violins, pianos, slide guitars and lazy drums – his lazy, half-whispered vocals are the real reason for this record’s success: it’s impossible not to be moved by his gentle, heartfelt delivery and, most importantly, his emotive lyrics. Beautiful.
