5.0 out of 5 stars I must be dreaming., June 21, 2005

I was visiting my friends over in Iceland in February. By chance we went out to see a local band Without Gravity. The band had a small following, but it was obvious this was a band still in its baby shoes. They filled the room with their haunting melodies and beautiful music. My friends and I left the venue talking about how much we liked them. I bought the album when it was an import from Iceland, I'm glad to see this album is being released here now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A living-room masterpiece., December 9, 2005

Formed in Reykjavik three years ago, Without Gravity presents a strong debut with Tenderfoot. the line-up practically demands intimacy. Kalli, on acoustic guitar and vocals, sounds so much like the late Nick Drake that Tenderfoot could pass for a long-lost Drake album. Bandmates Konni (acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and mandolin), Grimsi (brushed drums and backup vocals), and Helgi (double-bass, since replaced by Ottar on acoustic and electric bass) complete this disc's hushed melancholy. The band's gauzy lyrics complement the musical atmospherics, leading budding literary critics to get lost in such lines as "Where did you go? What have I done, my beautiful son?" from the first single, "Beautiful Son." without Gravity's Tenderfoot is a living-room masterpiece.

Without Gravity is by far the best sub pop band to emerge from the coldness of Iceland since Sigur Ros. They incorporate smooth sounding guitar work, with a alt. country twist and soft vocals. If I was to compare it to an other artist out today, I would say it is on the same level as Damien Rice's O. Everyone who enjoy's relaxing guitar work, jump on the new Without Gravity bandwagon.
