The annual Iceland Airwaves Festival starts today. To mark the occasion we’ll be giving away a free mp3 every day on our homepage and SoundCloud page.
Today’s song of the day is Days & Nights from our new album Svefns og vöku skil. Here is a direct link where you can download.

We will be performing at the Iceland Airwaves Festival on Friday night, in Kaldalón, Harpa, at 00:20.

The schedule for the Iceland Airwaves festival is up, and Árstíðir was given the final Friday night slot in the Kaldalón chamber music hall at Reykjavík’s new concert house, Harpa. We’ll be on at 00:20 with all of my favorite things in one place – perfect acoustics, a string quartet, and a very short walk to the Waffle Wagon.
But there are so many other great things about Reykjavík in October… something romantic in the dark, sleety streets flooded with the noise of so many simultaneous inspiring musical performances pouring from every corner of town, with a great many of them presented for free outside of the official Airwaves venues.
I wanted to share some of my best-loved sounds from this year’s Airwaves festival, perhaps exposing a few hidden gems from Iceland and its friends. Over the next few days I’ll put up some mix tapes tailored for a particular time of night in Reykjavík. The first mix tape, 20:01, has a few of my favorite things to hear to brace me for the onset of darkness: Owen Pallett, Dungen, Steve Reich (which the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra will be performing Thursday night), Ólafur Arnalds. There are also a few I never heard of until this week, but am really psyched to see. Enjoy.
