Ásgeir: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- When he was 20, Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson released an album in Iceland, sung in Icelandic, with many of the words written by his father. Dýrð í dauðaþögn became the biggest-selling debut in Icelandic music history. A year or so later, he rerecorded that album in English under the name In The Silence, with translation help from John Grant - an American singer-songwriter (and Tiny Desk veteran) now living in Iceland.
Ásgeir's voice is angelic and yearning, his songs simple and universal. At the Tiny Desk, his raw, slowed-down arrangements bring a sense of grace to what were already elegant songs. On piano, with simple guitar accompaniment from his childhood friend Julius Róbertsson, Ásgeir strips these spare tunes down even further, locating their essence in the process. It's been a wonderful year for the singer: His U.S. tour is wrapping up on the West Coast, and many in the U.S. have discovered his music in 2014. If you haven't done so yet, here's your Ásgeir moment.--BOB BOILEN

He was with my sister in school (menntaskólinn við ármúla) and he always walked in the same direction as her after school, he didint talk much at all and at the graduation he sung and minds blew.
Araeg Man Seriously??
Araeg Man: omg i wish I was there to witness!
Antal Áron Vicces hogy az izlandi kisvárosban ahol éltem néha megfordult. Ott az ilyet nem veszik nagy dolognak, csak körbevezetett az autójával meglátogatott pár arra élő rokont és ennyiy
0:00 ON THAT DAY
5:35 TORRENT
9:55 HIGHER
I heard them for the first time on the radio when I was in Iceland (in Ìslenska), these Vikings sure know how make a tune :)
Indeed, it seems the Nordic region has a strong focus on vocals. Not too long ago, I discovered the Faroe Islands. It seems the music of the Islands is very much the same, in that the artists lead with vocals.

Beautiful. So exited about this artist.
Reminds me of a chest-voiced Bon Iver.
It sounds much better in icelandic.
Always nice to bump into this video on occasion
Yup it's me again
He clearly isn't the talking type. Makes me like him even more :)
He’s like a mixture of Jose Gonzales, Bon Iver and Jeff Buckley
Bob, thanks for that moment !
I need the piano music for Torrents and Higher like now! This is absolutely amazing!
Buckley vibes for sure
Can't wait to see his live in July!!!

It‘s an electromagnetic-soundhole PU by L.R.Baggs probably a M80 or M1. Not sure if it‘s active or passive.
