Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds has released two albums in a row that truly seem to emerge from the heart of that country's winter darkness. If his 2010 album, And They Have Escaped the Weight of Darkness, was the sound of Iceland's sunless winter days, his latest release, For Now I Am Winter, turns the Nordic freeze into heroic rapture. Both sophisticated and edgy, Olafur Arnalds inhabits his own sonic universe, balancing emotions and mood on a laser's edge. For Now I Am Winter is the Echoes CD of the Month for April.
