JOHANN JOHANNSSON
THE SUN’S GONE DIM AND THE SKY’S TURNED BLACK
4AD

Contrary to the title, this is quite serene and strangely uplifting, in an unusual kind of way.  Hailing from Iceland, this sounds like a long forgotten film score in structure and style, but is in fact a rendition of a recording Johannsson’s father made some years ago of an IBM mainframe computer, using an orchestra and electronics alongside tape recordings.  Will certainly draw you in if you allow it to.
