M-Band “Haust” (exclusive)

12 Nov 2014 — Andi Wilson

Icelandic artist M-Band, moniker of Hörður Már Bjarnason, sheds a new light on how compassionate electronic compositions can be. Throughout his new single "Haust" you're surrounded by surging beats and claps. The beginning quickly unravels as Bjarnason's vocals (somewhat of a mix between Jens Lekman and Dan Bodan) carry endearing lyrics into a vast sea of synths. In its entirety, the track glows with sincere illustrations of wistful desire. Without any doubt, what's so special about M-Band is it's intense, conscious, and full of nurture. Willing to take a listener in with open arms and float to a warm haven.

Expect Bjarnason's debut LP Haust to be released in the UK & Germany November 17. Guided by Projekta in collaboration with Nordic By Nature.
