Sóley

Youtube has started giving me interesting music recommendations. One of these is Sóley, an Icelandic singer, pianist and member of the band called Seabear.

She released her debut EP called Theater Island in March 2010, a good album which brings together piano and folk (as in Smashed Birds) along with a sad, nostalgic mood. Although I recommend the whole album, here are some names: Theater Island, Fight Them Soft (-I especially like the cabinet piano sound from this song) and Kill That Clown. My favorite from Sóley is Read Your Book (it isn't included in the album).








Her songs remind me in weird way of Delicatessen (same mood; the main character's story regarding his partner in the circus - Dr. Livingstone). Looking forward to hearing her next album.
