Asgeir: Time on My Hands

As one of Iceland"'s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has spent the time between his record-breaking debut (now celebrating its 10th anniversary) and today pushing the boundaries of his textured, thoughtful brand of folk-pop. "'Time On My Hands"' sees Ásgeir in a state of self-reflection and experimentation, having spent much of the last few years in his home and in the studio deeply engrossed in writing, recording, translating and producing. On this album he"'s entered new realms of composition, sensitively layering acoustics with electronics and brass. As with some of his previous work, most notably 2017"'s "'Afterglow"' and 2020"'s "'Bury The Moon"', Ásgeir plays with euphoric and choral elements of electronic pop music while keeping a tight grasp on the introspective, vocal-lead style of the acoustica that made him famous.
