There's something wholly wonderful about the "Valtari" album by Sigur Ros, a very specific beauty that's simultaneously otherworldy and familiar, something magical and special and unique.
Varúð is a particularly fine moment on that release, a rising and sweeping epic of a track that fully captures the magic and wonder of Sigur Ros' work, a near perfect track that fills me with light every time I hear it...
A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers

Winter McQuinn mixes soft rock and psychedelic folk for a sound reminiscent of classic pop purveyors like Cut Worms and the Lemon Twigs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
Exceptionally beautiful music for sleeping, a soundtrack for drifting dreams and quiet reverie. The Liminal Series continues to be a fantastic musical project filled with wonder and magic, and I think that this latest release may well be my most favorite so far...
