Familiarize Yourself

If you love Sigur Rós or Amiina or just generally gorgeous ambient orchestra-esque music then perhaps you might want to check out Parachutes, another Iceland based belle of a band.

This delicate sounding eight piece creates the perfect kind of music to sit around drinking a glass of white wine while reading a classic novel to. The sounds are soothing enough to put you into a peaceful sleep with easy light dreams.

They’re very similar to Sigur Rós‘ album  Takk…, (tour mates in September 2008).  Parachutes choose to sing in English rather than their native Icelandic tongue, which might make them a little more accessible to some Americans who love with this genre of music.

However, regardless of whether or or not you find the English language more appealing to you than Icelandic , the instrumental alone is enough to keep the listener enthralled!
