"Ol Damo might look like a homeless hobo these days being holed up in Iceland living as a crazy hermit yet on this album he still somehow manages to climb off the park bench and newspaper blankets to give us a better than ok album. Warning! It’s slow and atmospheric and a bit of a snooze feast in ..." [+] Reply
