Ólöf Arnalds í Mengi

Singer-songwriter Ólöf Arnalds returns to Mengi to play some new songs from her upcoming album Spíra along with other classics from her repertoire. .

Ólöf Arnalds is an Icelandic composer and multi-instrumentalist. Her most distinctive asset is, nonetheless, her voice of instantly captivating, spring water chasteness possessed of a magical, otherworldly quality that is simultaneously innocent yet ancient (“somewhere between a child and an old woman” according to no less an authority than Björk). Her work has been called "stunning" by SPIN, "bewitching" by Rolling Stone, "remarkable" by the NME, "ethereal" by Vanity Fair "otherworldly" by The New York Times, and "impossibly lovely" by Paste.

Söngvaskáldið Ólöf Arnalds mætir til leiks á ný í Mengi og flytur áhorfendum m.a. ný lög af væntanlegri breiðskífu sinni Spíru í bland við gamalt og gott.

Ólöf Arnalds hóf feril sinn sem söngvaskáld með hljómplötunni Við og við, sem hún hlaut Íslensku tónlistarverðlaunin fyrir. Á erlendri grundu var hún valin í hópi bestu platna ársins af Paste Magazine, auk þess sem eMusic valdi hana eina af bestu plötum fyrsta áratugarins. Fyrir aðra sólóplötu sína, Innundir skinni, hlaut Ólöf Íslensku tónlistarverðlaunin sem tónsmiður ársins, auk þess sem platan var tilnefnd til Norrænu tónlistarverðlaunanna. Þá hefur Ólöf gefið út plöturnar Sudden Elevation og Palme en báðar hlutu þær mikið lof gagnrýnenda víða um heim. Fimmta breiðskífa Ólafar er væntanleg í byrjun desember. Á farsælum ferli sínum hefur Ólöf einnig lagt stund á að túlka lög eftir aðra, m.a. á smáskífunni Ólöf Sings.

Ólöf hefur leikið á tónleikum víðsvegar um Evrópu, Bandaríkin og Ástralíu og komið fram í útvarpi og sjónvarpi. Fjöldi dagblaða, tímarita, vefmiðla, útvarps- og sjónvarpsstöðva víðsvegar um heim hafa fjallað um hana og verk hennar. Má þar nefna The New York Times, The Guardian, Vanity Fair, Paste, BBC, KEXP og Uncut.
