...pieces. Single “Hljómalind,” which has been known for the past seven years as “Rokklagið” (“The Rock Song”), remains true to its working title. The song, which combines a traditional pop structure with sudden uplifting outbursts, comes across as a mixture of “Hoppípolla” and “Njósnavélin.” “Í Gær,” which was featured in the trailer...
