Prince Valium, Andlaus [Resonant – RESCD019, 2006]

princevaliumcd“Andlaus” is the title of yet another album with Icelandic ties being released by Resonant. Prince Valium’s “Andlaus” is filled with echoing, fading guitars and the occasional vocal element. The sound is warm, track progression is slow and it is all extremely well put together. The lullaby styled “Butter Cookies” with deep bass and processed guitars is one lovely example. And “Burning my B.A.” excellent rhythms and ambience is another. The overall quality is high and creates an enjoyable unit.
