235. Song of the Week is "Harvest (go to sleep)" by KJARR.
This is a song from KJARR's debut album "Kjarr" recorded over the course of three years (in Reykjavik, Hafnarfjörður & Glasgow). Songs are written & produced by Kjartan Ólafsson (Ampop, Leaves) who sings, plays piano, guitars, theremin, omnichords and other oddities while being backed by the very firm musicianship of Leaves frontman, Arnar Guðjónsson (bass) and Leaves drummer, Nói Steinn Einarsson. Also Baldvin Ringsted (a.k.a. Bela) contributes some very jazzy guitarwork to a couple of tracks on the album. Kristjón Daðason plays trumpet on several tracks and Ragnar Fjölnisson joins in with the accordion on Quantum leap.
