lafur Arnalds : Some Kind of Peace

Olafur Arnalds 2024 album, ‘Some kind of peace’ is his most revealing and vulnerable work to date and features Bonobo, Josin and JFDR. Within, you’ll find a self-confessed perfectionist grappling with the messier realities of everyday life: the possibilities of love, of settling down, and how to navigate all of that during a global pandemic (the album was half-written prior to lockdown, and completed at Arnalds’ harbour studio in downtown Reykjavik). What’s emerged on some kind of peace is a record about letting your guard down, and ultimately what it means to be alive. ‘Some kind of peace’ is a journey of Olafur Arnalds’ personal and creative growth, set against the backdrop of a chaotic world. Within, you’ll hear hints of those private experiences – sometimes even samples of the significant events themselves – woven into an album that is remarkable in its openness, and its beauty. Throughout Olafur urges you to embrace all that life throws at
