Ólöf Arnalds and Skúli Sverrisson debut their albums in full in NYC
On September 9, Skúli Sverrisson and Ólöf Arnalds and will debut their respective albums, Seria and Við og Við in full at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. Seen as brother and sister albums, each was voted Best Alternative Album at the Iceland Music Awards as well as Record of the Year at Iceland's biggest daily newspaper, Morgunblaoio. Ólöf played an important role on Skúli's album Seria, singing her own lyrics on three songs as well as playing guitar, viola, charango, koto, and glass. Skúli in turn was influential in bringing the various players together to make Ólöf's debut album, Við og Við.
With Skúli living in NYC and Ólöf in Reykjavik, the two have been unable to bring their albums together in the live domain. However, Olof's recent addition to the East Village Radio Festival lineup offered them one day (September 9) in their disparate tour schedules to make this happen. Joining them on stage for this historic show will be a glittering array of guests including Laurie Anderson, Peter Scherer, Okkyung Lee, Hilmar Jensson, Shahzad Ismaily, and Nico Muhly
