Beautiful melody and very calming. Great work!

A great piece of relaxing music, a lovely listen :)

Very smooth piece. I like the surrealistic flavor that it carries.

mmm, i enjoyed this piece a lot!!! Have darkness and light as i do in my genre :)

This is wonderful track, I really like it. One of my favourites from you.

Great piece. I personally love the piano very much

He was wearied, tired. Everything was too much, there wasn't another thought that could fit inside his head, nothing else he could do, but even admitting it was failure, so he pushed on until he broke. And when he did there were few to catch him.

A massive tune charting the slow decline, "Away From Here" is for anyone struggling alone. Laxá chart the hope, the darkness and the continuing journey. Jussi's guitar cries at the hopelessness, Mike's keyboards reach the heavens and Bjarne's bass booms while Matthias provides clarity amidst the chaos.

Mike Taylor swears the story is true. And the story gave Laxá the title for this song. The band were playing a show at a dive bar on Ingólfsstræti and took a break. Keyboard player Mike went outside to cool down and get a few moments peace between sets. Behind the venue was an alley near the stage door and he sat on the steps looking up at the clear night sky.

As he did he noticed a slight movement to his right, a shadow cast on a wall, as he turned his gaze towards it the shadow stopped and froze in place. Looking for the source of the shadow, thinking someone else was in the alley, Mike realized he was alone and as he glanced back, the shadow remained frozen but from its mouth, it's chill breath cast along the wall.

The hairs on Mike's neck stood up and he froze momentarily before, taking one last look at the disembodied shadow, he rushed back inside to finish the show.

"The Halting Shadow's Breath: A Post-Rock ghost story from Laxá"

Siegfried Jünger's new album "Things Get Sharp" is available for preview track by track here... soundcloud.com/these-guitars-say-sorry/sets/things-get-sharp-by-siegfried

Living On The Bones by Siegfried Jünger

"Driven by Bjarne's bass, 'Lush' is an experimental post-rock soundscape from Laxá's forthcoming album. Dark organ, distorted guitars, and driving drums paradoxically sit against the song's title. With Jussi Siglarson on guitar, Matthias Helguson on drums, and Mike Taylor on keyboards, Laxá conjures a hypnotic blend of alternative rock and electronic post-rock. Emerging from Iceland and San Francisco, their music resonates everywhere, offering a unique blend of alt rock and psychedelic post-rock."

Hush by Laxá [Psychedelic post-rock from Iceland]

Jeremias Langsämmer's latest composition, A Stone Has Fallen, unfolds in three profound movements, each a testament to his mastery of classical composition. From the first notes, Langsämmer draws listeners into a world of introspection and melancholy, setting the stage for a journey through the depths of human emotion.

The opening movement captivates with its pensive and somber tones, like the weight of a heavy heart. As if tracing the descent of the titular stone, Langsämmer guides us through a landscape of introspection and contemplation. Yet, amidst the darkness, there is a subtle promise of hope, hinted at by delicate piano motifs that shimmer like the first light of dawn.

With the transition into the second movement, the mood shifts seamlessly, mirroring the gradual brightening of the sky at sunrise. The piano takes on a more prominent role, its notes dancing with newfound lightness and clarity. Langsämmer's skillful orchestration creates a tapestry of sound that evokes vivid imagery, as if witnessing the unfolding of a new day.

Throughout the piece, Langsämmer demonstrates a keen sense of arrangement, weaving intricate rhythmic patterns that add depth and complexity to the composition. The interplay between strings and piano is particularly noteworthy, with each instrument complementing the other in a delicate balance of dark and light.

In its entirety, A Stone Has Fallen is a work of cinematic grandeur, worthy of the silver screen. Langsämmer's ability to evoke emotion through music is nothing short of mesmerizing, leaving listeners spellbound from the first note to the last. With its clever transitions and visual storytelling, this piece transcends the boundaries of classical music, inviting audiences on a transformative journey of the soul.

He's the baby at every christening

The bride at every white wedding

And the corpse at every

Funeral

He's the lost child on the fairground ride

The misfit toy you left behind

The crying kid at the bus stop

That you know

His eyes are red his blood does clot

He's in the gutter it's time to stop

He knows that he has seen much better days

And his better days have seen much better days

You're the darkness on a sunny day

A little boy that lost his way

And no he can't come out to play

Anymore

He's Jonah and he's Joan of Arc

A broken swing in the local park

And it throws it into stark

Relief for me

He's a shadow on a foggy day

A good intention gone astray

And a kite that's stuck

Up in a tree

He's a broken promise, a broken heart

He bought the horse, forgot the cart

He wrote the end before the start

Of it all

His eyes are red his blood does clot

He's in the gutter it's time to stop

He knows that he has seen much better days

And his better days have seen much better days

Lyrics:

Among all the aisles
Of gently worn clothing
She knows she could never afford
For just twenty dollars
Can she buy herself some beauty?

There on the hanger
Is the dress
She sees herself dancing
And no-one will know
From pink tag to princess
For one evening only

I smile to myself
As she’s trying it on
Thinks what the hell have I ever done wrong
Looks in the mirror
The reflection never lies
Today play pretend
And tomorrow you’re poor
She puts on the clothes she was wearing before
Decides that she’s worth it and walks right out the door


Then when she gets home
Makes her tea
Sits at the table all alone
Put on the dress
And she dances and she dances
No-one to see her
Fewer to care
Nobody knows that she’s even there


Dance to remember
Dance to forget
Dance for the memories you haven’t made yet
Dance cos you don’t know what else there is to do
So she steals to be happy
And begs to survive
Isn’t there more than just being alive
Than holes in your pocket and crying every night

In dreams she holds roses and hopes life’s not hopeless
Awake she can see where the end of the rope is
For a few pennies more she’ll tell you her life story
Today just repeats yesterday’s sad defeats
If she could just stand she’d get swept off her feet
By the time and the tide and the flood
That waits for no-one
