Olafur Arnalds

Fragile, emotional, classical indie music is a good way to describe Icelandic artist Olafur Arnalds' music. An obvious comparison is to Sigur Ros, but Arnalds is sculpting his own epic, string-laden compositions. He as always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and live-shows. He has built up a dedicated international following and is well established for his genre-crossing work blending classical, pop and ambient/electronica influences to a unique musical language. He also scored a BAFTA award winning soundtrack for ITV's popular drama series 'Broadchurch'.
