1. The three dots hang in the air like ghosts of words unsaid…

This is the first full release of Hjalti. The title is a Roma proverb that I think encapsulates the feeling of the album perfectly. The songs are looking back to a summer full of promise from a winter where those promises need justification. The album moves from a sparse to a denser sound-scape as winters questions are answered more fully. My fundamental influences (Proem, Gridlock) as well as more recent influences (Burzum, Efterklang) are very apparent throughout the album. In the end I could have continued to work on this album for ever but I guess releases are a good snapshot of where I am at this point and time.
