You've entered a cathedral -- cool tile floors, high ceilings, white marble fixtures, wooden balconies, yellow stained glass sometimes you can hear a car or motorcycle buzz by outside. Inside, every sound -- footsteps, coughing, song -- is echoed beautifully, the natural acoustics of the space allowing them to swirl around a bit before disappearing.

Four songs recorded live in studio for Icelandic National Radio in Reykjavik in March of 2001. These four versions were inspired by the vast, alien landscapes and warm-hearted people there. Performed solo for voice and guitar, these songs are stripped to a bare, spare minimalism that leaves the mind to fill in the spaces with memories and hope.
