wolviejv 🎧 This album is really a marvel.
Soft, sensitive, airy and exotic melodies that do a lot of good in these stressful and confined times.
I highly recommend it.

Russell Leach Have you heard the words, "enigmatic, magical, transparent?" They all apply here...'Dyrholaey' captures you from the opening, placing you within the warmth of its cocoon. An album possessing something rare, a visual aspect to the music. You go on visual journeys, as the songs sonic, nuances, gracefully caress your ears. 10 is not a high enough rating...a valuable gem! ~ Russell

Art Noir Wow. What an absolute pleasure to listen to this. Listen carefully and escape the madness around you. Favorite track: Apex.

about

Combining the poignant simplicity of Erik Satie-esque piano and ethereal Sigur Rós-style vocals, Thomas Méreur’s debut album Dyrhólaey brings his memories of landscapes he experienced on a trip to Iceland back to life.

“I wanted Dyrhólaey to be very simple, so it's mostly about piano and voice,” says Thomas. “Blending the voices together to create a whole new melody was very exciting to record, and brings a rewarding sense of richness.”

Named after Dyrhólaey, a small peninsula on the south coast of Iceland, Thomas has always felt a connection to the country through the music of artists such as Sigur Rós, Ólafur Arnalds and Björk. There are two themes that blend together on this album – Iceland and losing someone – with some of the lyrics making reference to the wild Icelandic nature and strange comforting loneliness that seems to come from it.

All songs written, preformed, recorded and mixed by Thomas Méreur
Mastered by Ian Hawgood

A Veil of Water really hits the spot with this collection of calm melodies.
