Museum

JFDR – the musical project of Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Jófríður Ákadóttir – announces her new album ‘Museum’ out on Houndstooth 28^th April 2023.

Museum is a timeless monument to captured moments. Its nine tracks sculpt fleeting instants of experience into emotional objects, her voice a glowing aura in a mist of glittering gossamer synths and delicate instrumentation.

The nine tracks move between opener (and first single) ‘The Orchid’s beautifully unfurling melodies and through the subtle percussions on ‘Life Man’, which propel the song upwards to soar like spring breezes. Tracks like ‘Air Unfolding’ gather hope in whorls of piano and synths, alongside instrumental breathers such as ‘Flower Bridge’ whose sympathetic textures shivers with the metallic sound of Icelandic Langspil – a traditional Icelandic string instrument.
