Kuggur, a new musical entity of the sole member Guðmundur Óli Pálmason who is no newcomer to music, being currently active in Icelandic post-doom/black metal band Katla, as well as having been a founding member of twenty years in Sólstafir, will release on the 22nd of July via Belfry Records, a new album entitled صاد ضَوْءٌ النُّجُو .
صاد ضَوْءٌ النُّجُو translates to Harvesting the light of the stars. The album was inspired by conversations Guðmundur had with his Lebanese wife about the maybe not-so-obvious musical similarities between Middle Eastern folk music and Icelandic folk music. Both styles rely heavily on minor scales, which tend to sound melancholic. For reasons he can't explain, Guðmundur says he's always been drawn to melancholic music. Three tracks are now available for streaming and you can hear them below. Link
