Oh man I’m loving that organ tone, it builds so much dramatic tension!  Excellent track👏🏻

Cool, atmospheric, almost like a soundtrack style! Good work.

Melodically really good. Love the use of the Hammond organ.

This is cool, pretty hot mastering I had to turn it down a bit, but the song is cool.

lovey with differents sounding drums and textures!

Great stuff.  Reminded a bit of Mogwai, but definitely got your own thing going.  Gorgeous textural melodies and powerful rhythms.

There's nothing quite like surfing near Húsavík , the water is cold and clear and black sand make it a memorable visit. Matthias is the best surfer in the group and was originally from Húsavík so the band spent a few days surfing and partying before settling down, inspired to write "Surfacing" about emerging from the frigid waters into the sun, surfing with friends.

Description:

"As The Twisted Light Blinds" stands as an enchanting chapter within Laxá's third album, "Where The Sun Stands Still." Inspired by the picturesque Þrídrangar lighthouse, renowned Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's literary backdrop, guitarist Jussi Siglarson was captivated by the mystique of this remote location. Elevated above the North Atlantic, the lighthouse served as a beacon of solitude amid vast ocean expanses.

Jussi's fascination led him to experience Þrídrangar from a unique perspective – soaring above in a helicopter. This aerial vantage point ignited the genesis of "As The Twisted Light Blinds." In this musical narrative, Jussi's guitar becomes the storyteller, echoing the vastness of space and the solitary light cutting through the darkness of the North Atlantic.

The song unfolds like a cinematic journey, with every strum and chord resonating with the majesty of Þrídrangar. Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass provides a grounding foundation, akin to the solid rock on which the lighthouse stands. Matthias Helguson's drums emulate the rhythmic cadence of crashing waves, while Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal layers, mirroring the mystery that cloaks this remote landmark.

"As The Twisted Light Blinds" encapsulates the essence of Laxá's transcontinental identity, bridging the landscapes of Iceland and San Francisco. The tagline "Laxá - Iceland | San Francisco | Everywhere" becomes manifest as the music transcends geographical boundaries, weaving a sonic tapestry that resonates universally.

With each note, the song invites listeners to embark on an audiovisual journey, painting mental images of swirling mists, rugged cliffs, and the solitary strength of Þrídrangar's guiding light. The fusion of influences from both Icelandic post-rock and the expansive vistas of San Francisco creates a musical dialogue that speaks to the heart and soul.

Featuring Jussi Siglarson on guitar, Bjarne Guðjohnsen on bass, Matthias Helguson on drums, and Mike Taylor on keyboards, "As The Twisted Light Blinds" is a testament to the collaborative spirit of Laxá. Their third album, "Where The Sun Stands Still," is not merely a collection of tracks; it is a sonic expedition that invites you to transcend physical boundaries and immerse yourself in the universal language of music. Join Laxá as they traverse from Iceland to San Francisco and beyond, capturing the essence of Þrídrangar's twisted light that blinds and illuminates in equal measure.

Living On The Bones by Siegfried Jünger

"The Harrowing" by Jeremias Langsämmer experiments with mood and timing. The tension between notes on the piano played in irregular time, hanging in the air, expecting to be played but absent. A mournful and at times and atonal classical piece that resolves to a halting piano melody, synth drone and arrhythmic timpani.

The Harrowing by Jeremias Langsämmer. Contemporary classical.

"Astapovo" by Jeremias Langsämmer is a classical music work crafted for cinematic or game soundtrack. This slow evolving piece features French Horn and the title references the place of Leo Tolstoy's death.

"Evidently Steeltown" by These Guitars Say Sorry paints a lyrical portrait of blue-collar life. The British singer-songwriter delves lyrically and poetically into the day to day of the working class, poetically capturing the everyday struggles.

Lyrics

I'm standing on that side
The crown of your life
The end of the line
And if you don't mind
Then I'll do it all again

The guns and the gazes
The bruises and grazes
Amazed that we made it
Back down to the pavement
I'm glad that we waited
To see this flame burn out

When you meet the one
You can no longer carry
When I can't stand up
But you just won't fall down
Outside the window
All the smoke of steel town
In your darkened room
You drink until you drown

We're eating our breakfast
You're clutching your necklace
Me jumping in feet first
You calling me reckless
I throw on my t shirt, shoes
And I just walk out

Amongst all the pots
The tears and the pans
All of the ideas
The thoughts and the plans
The things that we hid
The things we hoped we had

When you meet the one
You can no longer carry
When I can't stand up

But you just won't fall down
Outside the window
All the smoke of steel town
In your darkened room
You drink until you drown

Evidently steel town's in our blood
We're hard as nails and we've had enough
The rose that blooms we'll never touch
And all that glitters turns to rust
And you and me and us and them
Were just the things we did back then
And all who knew us and all our friends
Were evidently steel town
Where every day's a school day
