Icelandic post-rockers, Sólstafir, have revealed that their first full-length for Century Media Records, Hin Helga Kvöl (“The Holy Torment” in English), will be released on November 8th. In celebration, the band is now unveiling the second single from the offering, “Hún andar,” along with a music video, produced by Nico for Pulse Films. Check it out below.
Pre-orders for the album will go live at midnight local time on Friday, August 8 here: https://solstafir-band.lnk.to/HinHelgaKvol
Guitarist/vocalist Aðalbjörn Tryggvason comments: ““Hún andar,” meaning ‘She breathes,’ is an obituary to a living person whom I love very much, but the mind is gone due to mental illness and drug abuse.”
