After announcing her new album Turnar last month, acclaimed Icelandic theremin musician Hekla has today shared another mesmerisingly gothic track titled ‘Var’.

With its eerie ambient textures, ‘Var’ delicately places sonic artefacts about a desolate negative space, creating a dense inverse gravity. As with the rest of the upcoming album, a claustrophobic gauze hangs over the music that could otherwise be called subverted songwriting, aligning Hekla’s dark sonics with avant-garde, musique concréte and sound-art.
