Ólöf Sings

Icelandic wonder Ólöf Arnalds releases a new five-track covers EP in November by way of a stopgap release while she works on a follow-up to last year’s Innundir Skinni, due in Spring 2012. Arthur Russell, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan and Caetano Veloso all the Arnalds treatment which has previously brought so much light and loveliness to the likes of Kyu Sakamoto’s ‘Sukiyaki‘ and the Johnny Cash-popularised ‘That Lucky Old Sun‘, among others. Scroll down for a song-by-song preview, in her own words.
