Við og Við has been on constantly my player since I brought it home from 12 Tónar... I saw her at Airwaves in 2006 and was blown away then, I am looking forward to the new release...
SvaraEyðaIt didn't like it, I bought it some years ago because it was called album of the year. But I'll listen to the CD again.
SvaraEyðaI'm more into (loud) guitars & electronics, but I'll give it another try soon.

It's pretty folky, and Ölóf's high voice is almost in Joni Mitchell territory, but I love Joni as well...
