All of the music we listen to is exciting. Most of it makes us want to dance. Some of it makes us want to have a cup of tea and look at the rain for a bit with some new socks on. Some of it is Amiina.Amiina were the four girls who added all the percussion to Sigur Ros songs. Then they did their own album and it was wonderful. It sounded like nursery rhymes and music boxes. Then the four girls recruited two new members WHO WERE MEN and then they gave away a free download from their forthcoming second album, 'Puzzle'. The download was called 'Over And Again' and it was utterly incredible.
'Over And Again' is a delicate, haunting and melancholic slice of Icelandic brilliance which makes the absolutely perfect listening as Autumn comes along and does it's thing (it's 'thing' being making our shoes wet and giving us runny noses).
Here is the song for a listening experience:
Amiina 'Over And Again'
And here is a link on which you can click, be taken to the Amiina website, enter your email address and own the song for as long as you live - or at least as long at it takes before your computer packs up and you lose all your work, MP3s and pictures you may or may not have taken of yourself for social networking sites. Such is life.

The album, 'Puzzle' is out on 27 September and we are very excited about it. Very excited indeed - in the quietest possible way.
