Icelandic musician Gunnar Jonsson Collider has recently made his debut on A Strangely Isolated Place with his latest release, S.W.I.M. This album takes listeners on a journey through six fictional environments, with each track offering a distinct soundscape that’s further brought to life through Arna Beth’s accompanying video. Comparable to 36 and Pye Corner Audio, S.W.I.M. blends space ambient and hauntology to create an immersive experience that inspires hazily glimpsed vistas in the mode of ambient warmth.
For fans of chill-inducing, low-centric music, Gunnar Jonsson Collider’s S.W.I.M showcases six impressive slow-burning tracks that are reminiscent of other acclaimed artists such as Boards of Canada, Tim Hecker, William Basinski, and FKA twigs. From track 1 to 6, each piece is almost like a time-locked landscape that is brought to life through the album’s lo-fi temperaments and subby pulses of feeling. S.W.I.M is an all-encompassing sonic experience that draws the listener into surreal yet familiar soundscapes and sets Collider as a promising artist to watch in the experimental music scene.
