Unlike its predecessor ( ), the album’s lyrics are mostly in Icelandic, with occasional elements of Vonlenska(“Hopelandic”), a scat-like form of gibberish. The songs “Andvari”, “Gong” and “Mílanó” are sung entirely in Vonlenska. Moreover, the song “Mílanó” was written together with the string quartet Amiina.

The packaging on this limited edition vinyl is absolutely stunning! There are two 12″ vinyls, each in a full color inner sleeve, housed in the embossed gatefold sleeve. And then inside the gatefold, there’s an extra pocket that is die-cut and holds the third piece of vinyl, which is one sided, etched 10″ – Wonderful packaging – DMM recording –
