Mikael Lind ~ Intentions and Variations
What a cover. Julia Guther’s “remixed artwork” is the EP’s entry point, making one think, I have to hear this. Fortunately, the collection is a pure reflection of its cover, sounding like synaesthetic falling stars. Those who remember Reykjavik’s Mikael Lind from his 2013
