Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds is back with a new EP called The Invisible which is out now via Mercury KX. He originally crafted the music for a historical documentary, The Invisible Front. The never-before released music was re-discovered in Ólafur’s musical archive, like many things, in the heart of lockdown.
Of the EP, Ólafur says, “I wrote the music on The Invisible EP for a film score over 10 years ago. While sorting through some unreleased material I found these songs buried on an old hard drive. It’s a funny thing, looking back on your own music. Since I wrote these so many things have changed, in the world, in my career, in my life. But still they resonated with me and I hope that they do with you as well. So, after 10 years on the shelf, here is a time capsule from a different era.”
