Product Description

Album Details

Limited 180gm DMM vinyl LP pressing of the Icelandic band's 2007 album, the last ever recording session of legendary songwriter and producer Lee Hazlewood. To understand Amiina, it helps to understand their album title: Kurr. The word is Icelandic for "cooing," and it's a verb that works on a couple different levels for the ladies of Amiina - not only do their songs feature soft vocals without words (literally - cooing), but their melodies slide through their songs with a child-like effervescence, similar to the very sound an infant makes when it is calm, satiated by the magic around it. Amiina fans might even be inclined to say that the group's music puts them in a similar state. 13 tracks. One Little Indian.


Album Description

Most music lovers first heard of Amiina due to their association with another Icelandic band called Sigur Ros. The girls started working with Sigur Ros in the mid 90's, resulting in their first shows with the band in 1999. The rest, of course, is history, as Amiina became the string players for all of Sigur Ros' subsequent tours and records.

Like the sound of cooing, aspects of Amiina's music flicker quietly and float softly, content and beautiful. Kurr is full of dazzling moments of that caliber, a wholly original work that is delicate, intricate and dream-like. Their music is genuinely so special, ineffably charming and infused with a sense of cosmic magic. It's certainly wielded that power on us.

5.0 out of 5 stars 今年の個人的なベスト1, 2007/12/16
By ニック (東京都三鷹市) - See all my reviews
使っている楽器のバラエティ、発想のユニークさ、伝統、優しげな感性、いろいろなものがほぼベストな状態で発揮されているのではないかと思います。楽曲のよさと専門の訓練を受けたと思われる技術が支える絶妙なアンサンブルの面白さが最大の魅力です。やっていることは、結構実験系の音楽のようにも思えるのですが無駄な音が何一つなく、聞き手を飽きさせないです。繰り返しにも耐えます。それでいて、軽く口ずさみたくなるような分かりやすいメロディーと決して急がないゆっくりしたリズムが気持ちよく、ひずんだり、無理をした音がなく、音自体が心地よいというのもあって限りなくリラックスさせてくれるため、流れる音に身を任せているとそのまま眠りたくなることがあります。我が家では、猫も犬も気持ち良さげに寝てくれます。どんな人にもどんな動物にも勧められます。こんな音楽そんなにはないんじゃないでしょうか。

5.0 out of 5 stars 今年購入した中で一番ユニークな作品, 2007/12/8
Sigur Rosがお好きな方なら御存知であろう、amiina。
御覧のように、このアルバムのジャケットでは、
ほの暗い部屋の中で、メンバーが4人で一つの編み物を編んでいます。
彼女たちが奏でる音楽もまさにそんな雰囲気。

それぞれが奏でるミュージック・ソーやグロッケンシュピールなどが、
さながら編み物のように丁寧に一つの音楽を編み上げてゆきます。

この作品ほどにジャケットがその中身を表現しているアルバムは、
そうないのでは。

キラキラした音の雰囲気は、
BjorkのVespertineにも通ずる魅力を放っています。

難点を挙げるとすれば、車に乗る時に聴けない事ぐらいですかね。
すぐに車のエンジン音にかき消されてしまうような優しい音ですし、
第一運転している時に聴いたら、確実に眠りの世界へと誘われてしまいます。

5.0 out of 5 stars 眠りにつくまで, 2008/3/25
子守歌みたいなエレクトロニカ。静かに時間が流れて。温かかくて。なんだか切なくなって、目を閉じたら少しだけ涙がこぼれた。
