“Eerie, wailing sounds over distorted feedback drones… Vibrato-heavy harmonies chirrup and throb in agonisingly slow motion.”
The Guardian, Album of the Month
“Cinematic...carefully orchestrated...delicately explores unfamiliar territory with uncanny finesse.”
The Wire
Acclaimed Icelandic theremin musician Hekla returns with Turnar, her third album of devastatingly heavy, spectral soundscape-songwriting, entering a sublime paranormal plane of haunting dread. Wails with ghostly harmonics while distorted drones crash together in a stormy and blackened netherworld sea. Delicately places sonic artefacts about a desolate negative space, creating a dense inverse gravity.
Hekla Magnúsdóttir graduated from LHí with a BA in composition and then a MA in art teaching. She regularly has theremin workshops where she mixes graphic notation with theremin playing.
