#folktronica
It’s near impossible not to melt to Ásgeir. The Icelandic musician’s smooth voice is like a serene lake on a snowy winter day, and his sentimentally stirring folktronica songs never fail to tug gently on our heart strings. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from Ásgeir Trausti, but he’s back and in fine form on gorgeous Youth, our first preview off a forthcoming album due out next year on One Little Indian. Ásgeir, who had the biggest selling debut album by a home grown artist at just 20 years old and the winner of 4 Icelandic Music Awards (as well as a prestigious Nordic Music Prize nomination) takes my breath away with this cinematic sprawling, misty pining new song. Stream/download Youth, here. A tour next year brings him back to San Francisco with a headlining show at the Great American Music Hall on March 9th!
