We Built A Fire

2010 sophomore release from the Icelandic Folk/Pop band. Seabear started out as lo-fi project by singer/instrumentalist Sindri Mr Sigfsson, whose unmistakable voice and knack for writing highly-addictive Pop gems prompted Rolling Stone to call him the 'Icelandic Beck'. We Built a Fire finds the band expanding it's line-up, morphing into a rambling experimental/Indie/Folk septet. Retaining their signature sound of hauntingly beautiful Folk, the band have branched out to include elements of straight-up Indie Rock, intense balladry and delicate orchestral arrangements, garnering comparisons to Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens and achieving the stature of fellow Icelanders mm, Sigur Rs and Bjrk.
