Arny Margret is an Icelandic singer-songwriter and musician inspired by artists such as Adrianne Lenker, Aldous Harding and fellow Icelander Ásgeir. We introduced her with the track “Interwined“; now she has announced the release of the debut EP interwined which is out on February 25th via One Little Independent Records. “akureyri” is a new excerpt.
She recalls sitting in a small dorm-room in Denmark, staring out of its single window overlooking the scenic landscape, and how memories both good and bad flooded over her amidst the solitude. She explains: “Past experiences kept coming back to me while I was living in Denmark, everything around me was different. It took some time to get used to. The weather somehow always makes a way into my songs, I use my dreams and my memories, words or phrases. And one day I came up with the lyric ‘our pasts are intertwined’ as if you’re connected to someone you don’t want to be connected to”.
