Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi shared a tranquil new single entitled “Undercurrent.” The track comes from the LA-based Icelandic musician’s upcoming solo score album, First Light.
Set for release on August 30, First Light was originally intended to score a video game. The album, which will be issued through health and well-being music video provider Myndstream in conjunction with Lakeshore Records, “evolved and transcended into a 14-track journey of peace, hope, and connection.”

Regarding the project, Jónsi stated:
“Writing this music at a time of manmade global turmoil and unrest for a video game. I imagined First Light as a momentary fantastical red, over-the-top, utopian world where everyone and everything lives together in everlasting peace and harmony. Choosing beauty over disorder, hope over fear, our universal divine angel guardians watching over us and connecting us all as one through love, melody, and music.”
“Undercurrent” follows the previously shared album tracks, “Flicker” and “Cherry Blossom.” Stream “Undercurrent” and those tracks in the playlist below:
