Icelandic Composer's Yellow Label Debut on 12" Vinyl EP!

Deutsche Grammophon is delighted to announce the release of Longer shadows, softer stones, the debut Yellow Label EP from Snorri Hallgrímsson. The Icelandic composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist has collaborated with DG several times in recent years, creating imaginative reworks of "Idylle" from Satie's Avant-dernières pensées (2021), Víkingur Ólafsson's performance of "Vogel als Prophet" from Schumann's Waldszenen ("The Plover and the Raven", 2023) and Lili Boulanger's D'un vieux jardin (2024).

Halgrímsson grew up in a musical family, trained as a classical guitarist and also studied composition at the Iceland Academy of Arts and Berklee College of Music. He then began to write his own pieces creating soundworlds of subtle beauty and hopefulness that are often characterized by an atmospheric vibe.

These six original thought-provoking tracks aim to transform listeners' disillusion with the darkness of the world and encourages them to travel with hope instead.
