There’s a lot of similar/confusing band names out there, but the most confusing may be Ólafur Arnalds and Olof Arnalds, both of whom are from Iceland. Olof is a female folk singer who we’ve covered a lot (her new album came out in Feburary). Ólafur is a male composer and singer. His new album, For Now I Am Winter, came out last week and blends classical and pop. You can stream the whole thing below via Spotify and check out a video too.

Ólafur Arnalds will be in NYC next week for a show at Le Poisson Rouge on April 18 with orchestration from the LPR Ensemble. Tickets to that show are still available. While in the city, Ólafur has a couple other events planed. He’ll appear at the Apple Store Soho on April 16 for their “Meet the Composer” series where he’ll talk about the album and play a few songs. 8 PM and free.

Ólafur will do another free performance in-store at J&R Music World on April 19 at noon. These are the only North American dates he has currently, but all international dates are listed below.
