Úlfur - Black Shore
John Rogers | Wednesday 23 May, 2012 12:41
Icelandic instrumentalist Úlfur (trans: wolf) made an online stir recently when the video for “Black Shore” hit the front page of Vimeo out of the blue, picking up 50k hits as a result. It’s easy to see why they chose it: his caped figure creeping across the dark landscape with a planet sized moon rolling through the cosmos behind him is a captivating sight. The song itself is pretty representative of the orchestral, sweeping compositions that make up “White Mountain”, his debut album, which will come out worldwide later in 2012. He plays the Reykjavík Music Mess festival this weekend, and will no doubt be prowling for the greener shores of England soon.
