In 2006, Tunng's Mike Lindsay visited Iceland, falling in love with a girl and the small, snow-covered northern fishing town of Husavik. Four years later, having lost touch with the girl and drifted back to his old life in London, he felt the pull of that "mythical wonderland", and travelled back to Husavik to rekindle the love affair with town and resident. This lovely album documents Lindsay's new life, songwriting sensors heightened by romance and discovery. Recorded in a cabin with local musicians including the local school's marimba band, and finished in Rejkjavik, the songs are as beautiful and occasionally challenging as the landscapes, as military drumbeats and Arcade Fire-type walls of sounds and cries mingle with wind instruments, violin and wistful, poignant moods. Lindsay's lyrics drip with tales of ghosts, melting snow and great unknowns. "With the sun in your face you see a question mark in the mountain," he whispers in Spirit Fight. It's a departure from Tunng's folktronica, but anyone who loves that band's Bullets will find a wealth of similar treats here.
