I AM WEARY, DON’T LET ME REST

Written and recorded in an intense 3-month period in the middle of winter, I Am Weary, Don’t Let Me Rest is an expansive mixture of the soundscapes found on Snorri’s previous albums and film scores.  

From the sweeping orchestral strings of Orbit, to the intimate pianos of Landbrot and Chasing the Present, and even the haunting darkness of Jaula, Snorri’s 2nd LP effortlessly balances light and dark with 9 tragically hopeful songs.

Sometimes it just takes music from the heart to create a monument not just for yourself but for an entire genre of music. As if the composer had opened a book, with light and dark chapters in life, to narrate specific events in a musical language — these are pieces of music on the verge of perfection.

LANDBROT II

Snorri finishes his inward mental journey through ‘Landbrot’ with the second half of this double EP. In this set of five very personal pieces, the composer is eyeing the light at the end of the tunnel through tragic beauty, hopeful sadness, and uplifting melancholy.

LANDBROT I

An introspective and personal collection of instrumental pieces, Landbrot I is the first half of a double EP which takes its name from the location of Snorri’s family cabin in rural Iceland, which he describes as his ‘happy place’. Landbrot translates to erosion or ‘land fractures’, and from this we can imagine the search for inner calm & acceptance amongst the many obstacles of daily life.

ORBIT

Orbit is Snorri’s debut album and sees the composer showcasing his diverse background with elements from electronica, choral traditions, and film music. 

The result is a stunning blend of lush strings, distorted beats, intimate piano & the Snorri’s own sublime voice.

“Orbit is as close to flawless as anything that's crossed my desk this year. Musically, it's stunning. Thematically, it is dramatic without being melodramatic. Emotionally, it's sad, but never maudlin. This is the kind of record you never forget.”

HALLGRÍMSSON - WEDER

Swiss composer Oliver Patrice Weder and Snorri became great friends while studying film scoring together at Berklee College of Music.

Then one night in late 2018 the two got together again in Amsterdam for a weekend of drinks & laughs - and accidentally recorded an improvised 3-track EP in Oliver's home studio.

It's intimate, raw, and inevitably makes you feel you're right there in the room with them.

ORBIT REWORKED

Orbit Reworked contains new versions of tracks from Snorri’s debut full-length album Orbit, reimagined by the hands of Luke Howard, Tom Adams, Peter Gregson and Slow Meadow.

Each composer brings their own elegant and personal touch on Snorri’s music, making these four tracks as diverse as they are beautiful.
