NSR 001EP
|
The Icelandic musician and visual artist Sunna Margrét has put together five experimental-ambient-braindance-electronica tracks on the Iceland Music Award nominated and Kraumur Awards winning EP Art of History. Co-released between her oceanic hometown of Reykjavik, Iceland, and her current alpine home base in Lausanne, Switzerland, Art of History brings together distant dreams of elvish druids and beats of a contemporary urban woman. We don't see with our eyes and we don't hear with our ears. Those are only receivers for us to then interpret what we are sensing. The music is heard, is sensed, is felt, is seen. It speaks of the experience of a sensible being, of a sensible life. It's a sensible writing.

Sunna Margrét releases Five Songs for Swimming out on No Salad Records. It is the first release since her award-winning EP Art of History that won the annual Kraumur award in 2019 and was twice nominated at the Iceland Music Awards for best song and best album of the year. Five Songs for Swimming includes five original songs and a cover. They follow a continuous thread of water and flow and yet Sunna Margrét keeps close to her influences of bizarre human interactions, present in her lyrics throughout the EP and borrowing the words of New York legends the Feelies on the last song "When To Go" cover. It is safe to say that the new release comes to life after loss occurs. This composition of music and lyrics is written in memory of Sunna Margrét's grandmother, Unnur Ágústsdóttir, who passed away in February 2021. She was a swimmer in her early life, a champion in Iceland in the '40s, as well as a soprano singer, teacher, bird lover and lifelong inspiration.
