about

Based on field recordings taken during an artist residency in northern Iceland in April of this year, Songs from a cold place offers a snapshot of early spring from a unique vantage point.
In Iceland spring is when migratory geese arrive to feed on their journey even further north. It is when the ice starts to melt, only to be refrozen under new blankets of snow. The low slung shrubs bud, and the small birds can be heard chirruping during breaks in the wind. Spring begins unevenly, a warm day followed by a week long blizzard. A melt followed by metres of snow, and avalanches.
Songs from a cold place features recordings taken from the bird cliffs of Grimsey Island which straddles the arctic circle, the desolate rocky moors of the Skagi peninsula, the frozen inlets of Skagafjörður and the tiny fishing town of Ólafsfjörður.
Background: Instrumentally it features: harp, a traditional Icelandic instrument called a langspil, a glockenspiel and guitar in addition to the field recordings.

It is a limited edition hand stamped and numbered CD-r.

Reviews:
''Carr might not be a Viking, but she’s captured the mood of Iceland’s landscape, and by extension, its populace, making this album well worth the fish.'' -- A Closer Listen.

Continental Drift
by Faures

supported by 10 fans who also own “Songs from a cold place”

Drones, synths and epic sound walls emerging from a distant fog. Meditative, peaceful and as if from the inside of an iceberg. Sounds that aspire to the light. An outstanding, deep and imaginative album with subtle electronics. Apart from "Day" by Christopher Hipgrave (https://homenormal.bandcamp.com/album/day), for me it's the strongest album in the catalogue of Home Normal. SILENCE ET LIBERTÉ
