Barwick, Julianna - Healing Is A Miracle (140 Gram)

Nepenthe (2013) was recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland, produced by Alex Somers (Sigur Rós, Jonsi, Alex & Jonsi) and includes string ensemble Amiina, guitarist Róbert Sturla Reynisson from Múm, and a choir of teenage girls. The music of Nepenthe was influenced by the unfamiliar surroundings of Iceland itself, with its vibrant music scene and stunningly alien landscapes with their lingering magic. "[Nepenthe] deserves mention among the best and most artful ambient music being made today…” - Pitchfork, Best New Music
