Hekla - Turnar (2025)
Hekla's Turnar envelops listeners in a haunting soundscape, blending theremin, cello, and church organ to craft an atmosphere of desolation and introspection. Recorded partially in a medieval castle tower, the album evokes the solitude of a night watch, with tracks like "Gráminn" introducing percussive elements that intensify its brooding ambiance. Hekla redefines the theremin's role, shifting it from a novelty to a central, expressive voice in her compositions. While the album's somber tones may challenge some listeners, its rich textures and emotional depth offer a rewarding experience for those seeking experimental soundscapes
