We Built a Fire

2010 sophomore release from the Icelandic Folk/Pop band. Seabear started out as lo-fi project by singer/instrumentalist Sindri M r Sigf£sson, whose unmistakable voice and knack for writing highly-addictive Pop gems prompted Rolling Stone to call him the "Icelandic Beck". We Built A Fire finds the band expanding its line-up, morphing into a rambling experimental/Indie/Folk septet. Retaining their signature sound of hauntingly beautiful Folk, the band have branched out to include elements of straight-up Indie Rock, intense balladry and delicate orchestral arrangements, garnering comparisons to Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens and achieving the stature of fellow Icelanders m£m, Sigur R¢s and Bj"rk.
