This new effort by Reykjavik composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Snorri Hallgrímsson is breathtaking. Every one of these ten pieces is a highlight, and each lyric is warmer than the last. It is sad, romantic and exquisitely produced.
Orbit combines gentle piano with lush strings, distorted beats and Hallgrímsson’s achingly beautiful voice. The album’s theme — moving from place to place, missing loved ones — is presented with real tenderness. “Home is not a place; places are not home; home is people,” he sings on “Homeless.” Exclaim!
