I reviewed (and recommended) Old Amica's previous single "Tuvåkra" back in October, but for some reason never posted about their album "Fyr". Obviously, I really, really loved the lead single, I do thing it's their best cut from the album, but that doesn't change the fact that "Fyr" is something special on its own. From the early notes of the opener "Saida" until the closing soft edges of "Till Slut", you should be able to immerse yourself in Old Amica's sublime mix of ambience and soothing atmospheres, often lead by modern classical piano and backed by a number of one-off eclectic instruments and humming vocals. The whole album feels like flipping through a family photo album, sandwiched between your grandparents and listening to the captivating stories about their lives. If you like Sigur Rós or Foxes In Fiction this is something for you.
