5th full studio album by Teitur following the live album A Night at the Opera (Mar. 2010) and 2½ years after The Singer. This is fine and mellow, much in the same quiet form as his 2008 album. I just find it somewhat less ambitious and even more introvert. Perhaps it lacks the obvious single hits.
It's still a fine singer / songwriter release, and there's hardly a bad track on the album.
Bonus info: Teitur himself, did the cover art as well as the inlay booklet drawings, and he also did the official animation-video for track #6.
