Recorded in her native Iceland, Sudden Elevation, Ólöf Arnald's third full album - her first sung entirely in English - captures a rare and idiosyncratic songwriting talent in full bloom.
From the breezily skipping rhythm of opener 'German Fields' to the pealing vocals of closer, 'Perfect,' Sudden Elevation's particular brand of heartache is magical, dislocated and otherworldly; its harmonies complex and quietly electrifying.
