Thanks to this special bond, Pascal Pinon havemanaged to record a second album that's bolder, more mature, more focused,and more diverse than its predecessor. Having successfully toured Japan and otherplaces, it's not always three-minute songs for Pascal Pinon; sometimes a fewmoments are sufficient to create a certain mood. Whereas album opener "EkkiVanmeta" appears to be the Icelandic equivalent to a block party, "Bloom"intricately moves along and shape-shifts like Gavin Bryars' compositions. PascalPinon is now essentially comprised of Jófrídur and Ásthildur, with occasional helpby Kristín (and then there's also casual member Sylvía); together they havecreated a many-layered soundtrack to growing up on a volcanic island in theAtlantic. A small world of its own, with all its marvels, all its "Good and BadThings" (though still untouched by McDonald's, trains, and Starbucks). Even thefact that they used more than one microphone this time around does not take awayfrom the characteristic DIY approach often found in Iceland's bedrooms. WithTwosomeness, Pascal Pinon are about to enter adult life -- a point usuallyassociated with drifting apart, forgetting dreams. These girls, however, seem to begoing the other direction. Recorded and produced by Alex Somers (producer ofSigur Rós & Jónsi).TRACKLISTING01. Ekki Vanmeta02. Þerney (One Thing)03. Somewhere04. Evgeny Kissin05. When I Can't Sleep06. Annar Logi07. Kertið08.
