<\/a><\/figure>\nWhen Icelandic composer Snorri Hallgr\u00edmsson<\/strong> originally recorded his Landbrot<\/em><\/strong> album in two parts a little over five years ago, he was creatively inhabiting his personal oasis, a secluded family cabin in rural Iceland that he has said he considered his happy place. For his newest album entitled Nowhere Sessions<\/em><\/strong>, he chose for the first time to actually record in that very same cabin accompanied by friends and surrounded by \u201cvast landscapes and near-total silence\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This cabin is my favourite place in the world. It\u2019s been in my family for over half a century and I\u2019ve been going there all my life. A few years ago I made an album named after the area called \u201cLandbrot\u201d, which when translated literally means land fracture \u2013 but it can also mean an oasis. Which I find very appropriate as the cabin stands on the edge of a lava field, on top of a grassy hill overlooking two lakes. And this place is like a mental oasis to me: a reset button.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The album offers a wonderfully curated collection of songs featuring new renditions of songs from Landbrot<\/em><\/strong> and other works as well some new music including a track featuring Hallgr\u00edmsson in a rare but beautiful vocal performance. In addition to the audio recordings, the sessions were filmed so listeners can enjoy the full experience. Tender, intimate, and exquisitely melodic, Nowhere Sessions<\/em><\/strong> is a delight from the first note to the last.<\/p>\n \n\n
