about

This track is in 11/8 meter. It´s a meter used in balkan music where it´s played very fast. This song howerver is really slow.

lyrics

Heit hjól
Hreinn snjór
Hart grjót
Hrátt ljós

Í varnarviðbrögðum
Í varnarviðbrögðum
eiga einlæg bros rætur sínar

Föla tungl flögrar yfir sandinn
Lítið ljón urrar blint á brjóstið

Hár Sjór
Hvasst spjót

Óvæntar veitingar fyrir augum hins unga manns fella skugga á bringu hans
Hangandi órói yfir höfði hins gamla manns nemur hreyfingu beina hans

Ljónið bíður Tíminn skríður Stúlkan kvíður
Stúlkan skríður Ljónið kvíður Tíminn bíður

Frumstætt öskur ungabarnsins fullnægir þörfum þess
Frumstætt öskur þess fullvaxna undirstrikar úrræðaleysi hans

Og hin feita sól sekkur oní sæinn
Meðan rúið skinn rekur burt frá landi

Hvítir villimenn læðast að bráðinni auðstyggdri liggur hún á
Bak við hæðina býður þín bál oní hreiðrinu börnin þín smá fljúgast á

Óvæntar veitingar fyrir augum hins unga manns fella skugga á bringu hans
Hangandi órói yfir höfði hins gamla mans nemur hreyfingu beina hans

Dagur drekkur
Horfinn hlekkur

about

Atónal Blús image

Atónal Blús Reykjavik, Iceland

Fierce, driven and hypnotic, seeking inspiration among other in rhythms found in ethnic music…..melodic but also turning dark and dissonant with lyrics sung both in Icelandic and English, sometimes blending the two languages….slow and epic, stretching into more improvised soundscapes, but also short, clear and fast. ... more
