5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, exquisitely crafted gem., November 4, 2007

Iceland...home to a little over 300,000 people. Home to the popular children's program LazyTown and the magnificent waterfall Dettifoss. Home to the modern progenitors of heartachingly gorgeous melodies. Luminaries such as Bjork, Sigur Ros, and now. . .Seabear.

I could spin a yarn about the subtle complexity of the record, add a couple paragraphs about the existential beauty of the songs, perhaps even the ubiquitous Amazon reviewer's track-by-track analysis. I could tell you the single "I Sing, I Swim" alone would be worth the purchase price of the LP.

But all of that would only keep you from finding out for yourself one of the brightest new stars on the indie scene today, and you'll want all the time in the world to enjoy this record.

For fans of artists such as: Jens Lekman Night Falls Over Kortedala, Kings of Convenience Riot on an Empty Street, and Ferraby Lionheart Catch the Brass Ring.

Brilliant song writing coupled with beautiful music makes this my favorite cd in a long, long time. It's not just one or two songs that stick out, the entire album is fantastic. Highly recommended to anyone who likes good music. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of 2007!, July 2, 2008

By

This review is from: Ghost That Carried Us Away (Audio CD)

Beautiful, beautiful folksy-indie songs that honestly just make me smile to listen to them. There's a violin among the instruments, which is what really got me, I think. One of the best albums of 2007, and definitely the most underrated and unheard of! I love the entire album (which is so rare these days), but especially love "Arms" and "I Sing, I Swim." As soon as I heard some of the songs, I had to rush out and buy the whole thing!

Recommended for fans of Sufjan Stevens, Great Lake Swimmers, and maybe also The Shins.
