Asgeir

While not as high-profile as Björk, Ásgeir has joined the limited number of Icelandic artists known in France, along with the intergalactic experimentalists of Sigur Rós and the optimistic pop band of Of Monsters and Men .

His thing is the perfect melody, which instantly sounds like a classic, elegant melancholy, the perfect harmony with the landscapes of his country which inspired the sublime Heimförink , also recorded in English under the title Going Home.
