Snorri Hallgrimsson The Importance of Birds on 180g 12″ EP

Deutsche Grammophon presents The Importance of Birds, the new inspiring project from Icelandic composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Snorri Hallgrímsson. The multi-awarded composer has written and produced seven original tracks for an EP that is an observation and reflection on the fragility and finiteness of life and the relationships with those closest to us and how they are ever changing and growing as time marches on. With his 2025 EP, the Icelandic composer creates a soundworld of subtle beauty, consisting of poignant but uplifting solo piano lines, at times underpinned by warm, gently shifting string arrangements and/or layers of electronica that ebb and flow, bearing us ever further along a winding musical path.
