A specialist in experiments, Ólafur recorded this album during the summer of 2016, at the rate of one song per week, each time in a different city with a guest artist.

This is how Nanna (the singer of Of Monsters and Men ) rubs shoulders with the poet Einar Georg Einarsson , the choir director and organist Dagný Arnalds , the Kammerkór Suðurlands (southern choir), the composer Atli Örvarsson , author of numerous film scores, here conducting the northern symphony orchestra and the Brasstríó Mosfellsdals (Trio of Mosfellsdal brass).
