SHRINE - For The Ones We'll Forget (March 2021 AMP Music & Records)

SHRINE is an international music collaboration between musicians from Iceland, Denmark and Sweden. 

“For The Ones We'll Forget” is their debut featuring compositions by all of the band members. The album and especially the title track“For The Ones We'll Forget” is a subtle homage to the people who have disappeared from ones life; music for the people who shaped and influenced you in the past, but for one reason or another left your life

The sound that the ensemble encompasses can be described as rich and full of intrinsic beauty. Shimmering melodies float on top of clouds of complex, yet approachable harmonic landscapes. The horn playing of Hannes Bennich has a special character that lifts Sigurdardóttirs subtle and tasteful choices on the piano. Arvid Jullander and Emil Norman creates a solid yet playful foundation, where everything feels meaningful and steady.
