Stafrænn Hákon ~ Hausi
This album is pure enjoyment ~ so warm, so inviting, so enveloping that the struggle behind it may be obscured. Icelandic composer Ólafur Josephsson has taken a long sonic journey to arrive at this point. Originally the sole member of Stafrænn

Godspeed You! Black Emperor ~ Luciferian Towers
