Hailing from the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago of Iceland, Unnar Gisli Sigurmndsson, known more famously as Junius Meyvant, has released a rich, engaging mixture of indie folk and chamber pop with Floating Harmonies. Among the first things one notices about the album, next to Meyvant's wonderful voice, is just how alive with instrumentation it is. Nearly all of the songs have these really vibrant strings that give a distinct boost to the already well-written pop songs, and the pianos and bass provide a strong backbone for the strings to stand on. The hooks here (especially on "Hailslide", my goodness) are all excellent, and the backing vocals add a great pinch of personality. The drumming is also pretty intricate for this style of music, which is always refreshing to hear. All of this combines to make a well-rounded, highly enjoyable debut full-length from a guy that one should definitely keep their eyes on in the future.
