Jónsi has announced a new album, First Light. The Sigur Rós singer and composer has shared a pair of songs, “Flicker” and “Cherry Blossom,” ahead of the record’s August 30 release. For the record, which he initially conceived as a video game score, Jónsi partnered with the music and wellness platform Myndstream, who 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 at a time of manmade global turmoil and unrest for a video game. I imagined First Light as a momentary fantastical, over-the-top, utopian world where everyone and everything lives together in everlasting peace and harmony. Choosing beauty over disorder, hope over fear, our universal divine angel guardians watching over us and connecting us all as one through love, melody, and music.”
