I’ve been raving about Erased Tapes, and especially Ólafur Arnalds and co. for a long time now – and it’s good he’s getting some recognition via the BAFTA nomination. So to celebrate Erased Tapes have posted the full film of Living Room Songs. I played ‘Near Light’ from this last year on the podcast and it jumped out at me from all the Erased Tapes compilations – I didn’t even know it was a video! So nice to see it’s genesis here. In fact it grows an extra element, with his sister and mother on synthesisers (love the tape on the keys, obviously his sister isn’t that used to a keyboard, touches like that give it more of a homely, family feel. I’d not call it a happy song though!). (via Simon Risbridger)
