Sounds of Christmas (12" Vinyl) • Fischersund

This is the 10th limited pressing from the collective, and it feels like a proper keepsake for the season. The vinyl’s surface is quiet and clean, letting the sparse arrangements and Jónsi’s voice sit right in the room.

The crackle of the needle dropping on side A immediately put me in the holiday spirit, and the warm, analog sound of this 10th limited edition pressing feels like a cozy Icelandic winter night. I’ve already spun it three times today; it’s the kind of record that makes you want to sit by the fire wit

It's the tenth in their limited series, and the recording quality still feels startlingly intimate—the group's sparse instrumentation really benefits from the vinyl format. Definitely worth grabbing if you're a fan of the collective's usual atmospheric work.
