Album Notes & Community Reviews

The first recording made in the band's newly completed studio, the EP sets fisherman Steind贸r Andersen chanting traditional Icelandic r铆mur across all six tracks. The band accompany him on three tracks, two are solo, and 'L忙kurinn' is a duet with Sigur冒ur Sigur冒arson. Only 1,000 copies were printed, sold on the spring 2001 tour in a blank white paper sleeve.
