Jack music Life A well done first solo album. Long life to her creation. Favorite track: Acceptance of sorrow II.

rikm Unexplained Miseries and the Acceptance of Sorrow is a stunning album, a beautifully melancholy voyage through dark hallways and secret passages, where minimal keyboards and rich vocals blend to create something magical.

Brilliant stuff!

Louis Mondot Such great incantatory synths & voice Favorite track: Unexplained miseries II.

The magnificent solo project by Sólveig Matthildur, one-third of the Icelandic dark-goth outfit Kælan Mikla. This is the first vinyl issue of Solveig's debut album, following its release in late 2016 on digital formats. The album went on to win the Icelandic Kraumur Award and has been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone.

"A tablet-age reincarnation of the post–Velvet Underground Nico, in the harmonium-wasteland setting of 1969's The Marble Index and 1970's Desertshore."
-David Fricke, Rolling Stone

Track Name: Unexplained miseries I: Allt sem áður var, er frá
þú með þínar þrár
og ég;
sár.

Ég reyni samt að fara af stað.
Ég reyni svo að halda áfram
en neyðist til að standa í stað

Allt sem áður var,
er frá.

Heimur horfir á mig þjást
og ég horfi á þig þjást
og þú horfir á mig þjást
það er ást.

你从冰柜中拿起一袋冷冻食品，放进购物车，转身离去，却没看见食品袋盖住的半张脸。那是无家可归的冰雪宁芙，她躺在冰柜中，身着薄霜，头戴冰锥，她脸上凝结的微笑比严冬还要惨白。 // Brilliant music. Wicked and beautiful, sad and solemn. Poppel Yang
