The peaceful sounds of Ólöf Arnalds
An event you’ll bend over backwards to attend!
June 21
Café Flóra
2000 ISK
Ólöf Arnalds is one of those female singers who makes a strong connection with
her audience. 'Innundir Skinni', her last album, sounds like an intimate solitude in
which the woman rests gently while the child sleeps in the crib. Ólöf has unravelled
her emotions, breaking the linguistic veil to reach to your heart intact. Although
most of her songs are in Icelandic, the meaning transcends to the surface. Her
latest album has received critical acclaim since it was released and this show is a
great chance to discover the magical sounds of Ólöf.

CONCERTS & NIGHTLIFE IN JUNE
The Noise Revival Orchestra seem
to have moved away from their
experimental orchestral work in the
EP ‘Songs Of Forgiveness’. Perhaps, in
an attempt to gain a more mainstream
fan base, the band has progressed
towards a more pop inspired place,
with repeating hooks such as the track
‘Crushin On You’. That said, the EP
as a whole has a “semi-professional”
feel to it, the sound not as refined
as some listeners may like. This
may stem from the task of making
eight different instruments weave
together to perfection. However, the
tracks are fun to listen to, connecting
the diverse instruments decently,
augmented wonderfully by Nathan
Felix’s Strummer-esque vocals. The
EP has a jovial, care free sound to it as
well, giving it the ability to be an album
anyone can listen to when they’re
having an off day, and sure to make a
fantastic mood even better.
- S. Alessio Tummolillo
If you’re into an eight-piece band with
a poppy feel and ‘70s/’80s punk band
vocals, The Noise Revival Orchestra will
playing a show at Faktorý on June 18.
