My own cover of the beautiful soundtrack by Craig Armstrong from the balcony scene of the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet. Enjoy! :) x

Balcony scene soundtrack Cover- Romeo and Juliet

The title of Mikael Lind's latest album, Unsettled Beings, is a reference to his restless self. After completing his 2012 album, Felines Everywhere, in the spring, by fall he had already written a couple of new songs, and on his Iceland Airwaves gig in November that year he performed nothing but new material. Constantly trying to develop his sound, Mikael makes sure that his followers never hear the same concert twice. The material he played at Airwaves last year constitutes the backbone of the album which is now being released.

Mikael is Swedish, but has lived and worked in Iceland since 2006. The interesting thing about his new release, is that all the people involved in realizing the music are also foreigners living in Iceland. Paul Evans from Greenhouse Studios played the violin and also mixed the album. Ryan Karazija, who is doing very well in Iceland with his band Low Roar, lent his vocals to four of the tracks. Alex Somers from Riceboy Sleeps, producer of several important new musical acts in Iceland, mastered the album.

The basic idea of the album is a core of several different pianos accompanied by a lush pattern of violins. The pianos are of varying character, and their melodies often intertwine in a poly-rhythmic fashion, giving the listener the option of letting different melodies compete for attention. Ryan's vocals add warmth to the songs, ornamented with Paul's violins - sometimes in a call-response aesthetics.

The album is being released by the San Francisco label Time Released Sound by the end of August. Time Released Sound is well known for the ambitious artwork of its founder Colin Herrick, who recently went to Iceland especially to work on the artwork for Mikael's new release.
