Make no mistake, Ólafur Arnalds’s Found Songs is classical music. While considerably less epic than albums from fellow Iceland natives Sigur Rós, Found Songs is intimately beautiful and will potentially intrigue those unfamiliar with its classical influences. But, ultimately, I’d rather listen to Chopin to get my melancholy classical fix.
Reminds us of: Satie | Chopin | Sigur Rós as chamber music

Two songs go in, one comes out. Pick a side.

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)

Chopin and Òlafur Arnalds aren’t even really worth a comparison. Their music is nothing alike.
