{"product_id":"stafraenn-hakon-eternal-horse","title":"Stafraenn Hakon - Eternal Horse","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing their first release on Darla, Eternal Horse is the ninth album of the Icelandic ambient rock band Stafrænn Hákon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On Eternal Horse, Stafrænn Hákon move away from the DIY experimental drony ambient and the lo-fi indie-rock sounds of their last albums, Prammi and Kælir Varðhund, and revisit the sound-spectrum of their previous Darla album, Sanitas (2010).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Eternal Horse contains nine pop-oriented and vocally driven melodies. The album builds on certain elements heard on Gummi (2007) and Sanitas (2010), filled with soft and floating guitars mixed with heavier guitar sounds, layers of acoustic instruments and vocals. Vocals and lyrics on the album are in the hands of Magnús Freyr Gíslason and At The Close Of Everyday frontman, Minco Eggersman, who again collaborates with the band, providing his deep and soothing vocals to three songs on the album.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As heard on the opening track Bræla, Stafrænn Hákon combines heavy sonic pallette of guitars mixed with airy melodic vocals. On Frigid\/Bag a familiar tone is presented, heard on his highly acclaimed album from Ventill\/Poki (2004). The journey continues with poppier elements and almost doomy sounds of the composition \"Rene Russo\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The band´s current line up consists of guitarists Ólafur Josephsson and Lárus Siguðsson, bass guitarist Árni Þór Árnason, drummer Róbert Már Runólfsson and singer Magnús Freyr Gíslason. Eternal Horse is the first Stafrænn Hákon album featuring the whole band collaborating on the songs in their studio, making the compositions more organic and fuller. Longtime and now previous member of the band, Samuel White contributes two songs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Recorded at Vogor Studios between 2011-2015.  All songs by Stafrænn Hákon.
