about

Pretty Late was recorded over one year, although the compositions on the album have a longer history. With the nostalgic feelings that follows becoming an adult, the songs have deep meaning and memories for the young composer. The material is recorded at Sundlaugin (the infamous studio built by Sigur Rós in the 2000s) and Mengi (a legendary arts and experimental venue in central Reykjavík) who are also releasing the album. The songs have evolved with a personal soundscape that surrounds his guitar playing, collaborating with musicians like Skúli Sverrisson (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ólöf Arnalds), Albert Finnbogason (JFDR, Sóley), and various of Brynjar’s favorite session players. The whole album was recorded in the midst of the pandemic with Brynjar often working late into the night, making the melancholy shine through the recordings.
