v e n n & wreath - dawn in yoyogi

Good morning! Today I have a track premiere for you from the wonderful INNI label out of Reykjavik, Iceland. As a quick reminder, I’ve previously featured their releases by Christopher Royal King & Nico Rosenberg, Atli Örvarsson, and Rose Riebl, the latter two of which have then showed up on my Best of the Year selections – so you can tell that I’m a fan. Today I’m honoured to introduce you to another very interesting project (and, more importantly, fantastic music) born out of a collaboration between Jónsi (of Sigur Rós), Sin Fang (of Seabear), Alex Somers and Kjartan Holm, who’ve come together to create a soundscape that parallels a perfumery in Reykjavik, owned by Jónsi’s family, called Fischer. You can check out a Financial Times article covering this shop as the essence of Iceland, titled “Cult Shop: the scents of Sigur Rós“. But fandom aside (who hasn’t fallen in love with everything from Iceland yet?) the nine tracks of the first entry on INNI, titled Sounds of Fischer Vol. 1, are delicate, tender, and exquisite in their fragility, creating soft atmospheres for mornings and for nights. I can’t say anything about the perfumery, although the above article describes one fragrance using terms such as “smoke in the air, tarred telephone poles, mowed grass, a beached whale and tobacco leaves with notes of black pepper and Icelandic Sitka spruce.” I particularly like the following sentence: “Jónsi’s experimental approach to scent composition is comparable to his avant-garde musical process, both resulting in peculiar notes and enveloping overtures.” I wonder if that line can be inverted. I’ll let you be the judge. And now, let’s hear the music!

"Fischersund from Iceland is a family-run business that harnesses a collective of artisans at the intersection of scent, shop, gallery and art. Fischersund sells fragrance products inspired by the clean, unique nature of Iceland using herbs and oils harvested in the Icelandic wild via the most environmentally friendly solutions and materials for the modern lifestyle. Jonsi is the nose and has a passion for perfumery following a self-taught journey of learning (one of his fragrance organs is in the Reykjavik shop)."

TRACK PREMIERE : Jónsi, Sin Fang, Alex Somers, Kjartan Holm - Beitilyng

From the album "Ver Sacrum"
“Throughout history, this expression has been used to describe various ritual group expulsions and the deduction of colonies, particularly with regard to people getting back to nature.
For example, the Italian town of Nocera was founded in the 7th Century BC by inhabitants from Camerinum, who left their ancestral homeland during a so-called Ver Sacrum.
In ancient Rome, during times of calamities such as pandemics, earthquakes, wars, or plagues, they used to devote children born in spring – from the 1st of March to the 30th of April – to the gods Jupiter and Mars. Then, when they turned 20 or 21, these children were required to leave the community to begin new settlements”
________________________________________
Sounding like some long lost, sacred canon, Ver Sacrum – the new album from Bruno Sanfilippo – marks something of a departure for the Barcelona-based pianist and composer. Far more orchestral in nature, there’s a spiritual, quasi-religious force to these pieces; strings swoop and soar, maudlin organs plough slowly, sorrowfully forward, while several sopranos add to the ecclesiastical air. But there’s hope and joy here too, and a childlike playfulness – playing these tensions against each other is what makes Ver Sacrum such an intense, rewarding listen. Inspired and informed by the ancient custom of ritualised expulsions of the same name, one can find the whole spectrum of humanity within these nine pieces: sorrow, loss, love, rebirth, change, hope, and the indefatigable human spirit. It’s what gives this music its power. Derek Robertson, journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.

DR-87 ; Andrew Heath - Fold (CS / DL)

out on June 16th, 2023‘Fold represents the continuing shift in my work towards a more open and tonal sound - warmer and more dreamlike, I seek to explore more minimal arrangements using sparse piano and guitar balanced with soft electronics and field recordings. Fold is a slow moving tone poem with delicate piano motifs and evolving e-bowed guitar notes that seem to form from nowhere and then disappear into the ether, always searching for that elusive and constantly shifting space between sleeping and waking.’

Slow Your Motion

Swedish composer and pianist Peter Sandberg has carved a singular place within the landscape of modern composition, blending neoclassical minimalism with the emotional immediacy of contemporary production. His work bridges the space between the concert hall and the cinematic world, pairing restraint with raw feeling, precision with vulnerability.

Across seven albums to date, Sandberg has built an expansive body of work defined by emotional clarity and conceptual depth. His compositions have appeared in major television series including Stranger Things (Seasons 3 and 4), introducing his distinctive sound to new audiences and affirming his gift for evoking profound emotion through simplicity and space.

His forthcoming album, Temporary Coexistence of Humans, will be released on 1 May 2026. Returning to the piano as his central instrument, Sandberg examines the illusion of control - how human lives intersect in fleeting, unpredictable ways, colliding like particles in a vast web of cause and effect. The album’s pieces act as small, vivid observations: moments of connection, compassion, regret, and release. Beneath their minimal surface lies a quiet curiosity about what it means to share time and space with others.

Working from his studio in Uppsala, Sandberg continues to blur the boundaries between classical form and contemporary reflection. His music doesn’t seek resolution so much as understanding - inviting listeners to pause within the tension, and to find beauty in the fragile, fleeting coexistence of us all.
