Erased Tapes celebrates 10th anniversary with limited edition Ólafur Arnalds release

Remastered by Nils Frahm.

Icelandic musician Olafur Arnalds’ delicate piano-led debut is being reworked and reissued, as part of Erased Tapes’ 10-year-anniversary releases.

Remixed by Arnalds and remastered by Nils Frahm, the Eulogy for Evolution 2017 release, which is limited to 2000 worldwide, comes on clear vinyl, and includes a 20-page booklet with pull-out photographs, WAV / mp3 digital download, plus redesigned cover art using the original photographs taken by Stuart Bailes during a trip to Arnalds’ home in Iceland in 2007.

“I spent a couple of weeks in some sort of a time machine, opening up and working on 12-year-old recordings. There was noise in the microphones, some channels seemed accidentally muted, but sometimes I found myself admiring what my teenage self was capable of. It was somehow charming. Well, most of it. So I fixed the stuff that wasn’t before sending it off to Nils Frahm for remastering,” says Arnalds.
