Leikbræður's album, Í Víðihlíð Við Hafið, is a mesmerizing collection of Icelandic folk music that transports the listener to the rugged coastline of the North Atlantic. The band's intricate harmonies and haunting melodies create an ethereal soundscape that captures the essence of Iceland's natural beauty.
From the opening track, "Hvítárvatn," to the closing notes of "Fjöllin blá," Leikbræður's musicianship is on full display. The album is a masterclass in traditional Icelandic music, with each song building upon the last to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
One standout track is "Hvalir í fjörunni," which features a beautiful vocal arrangement and a soaring violin solo. The song perfectly captures the majesty and mystery of the ocean, and is a highlight of the album.
