Summary: <p>The Icelandic duo Hugar is multi-instrumentalists Bergur Þórisson & Pétur Jónsson, who sculpt dreamlike layered soundscapes using keyboards, guitar, and electronics. Occasionally they’ll include other chamber players, including one Ólafur Arnalds. Sometimes the music is an attempt to “put our everyday experiences into sounds” – like “walking to school in a snow blizzard and riding your bike in the calm midnight sun” (<a href="https://sonymusicmasterworks.com/icelandic-duo-hugar-debuts-two-new-tracks-ro-oroi-available-everywhere-now/">Sony Masterworks</a>). Their latest record is <em>Varða, </em>which translates to “cairn” in English. Hugar joins us in-studio to perform some of their music. - <em>Caryn Havlik</em> </p> <p><em>Watch the session here: </em></p> <p> </p>
