Jónsi announced a new album, First light. The Sigur Rós singer-songwriter has shared a pair of songs, “Flicker” and “Cherry Blossom,” ahead of the record's Aug. 30 release. For the story, which he originally conceived as a video game score, Jónsi partnered with music and wellness platform Myndstream, which will release it in partnership with Lakeshore. Check out the tracklist and artwork below, along with the new songs.
In a press release, Jónsi said, “Writing this music in a time of man-made global upheaval and upheaval for a video game. i imagined First light as a momentary imaginary, hyperbolic, utopian world where everyone and everything lives together in eternal peace and harmony. Choosing beauty over disorder, hope over fear, the universal divine guardian angels watch over us and connect us all as one through love, melody and music.”
