Acclaim for Hekla's album "Turnar"

Icelandic theremin musician Hekla released her new album 'Turnar' in March. It's her third album of devastatingly heavy, spectral soundscape-songwriting, entering a sublime paranormal plane of haunting dread. It has been received with acclaim, with positive mentions in publications such as Pitchfork, NPR and The Wire.

“Eerie, wailing sounds over distorted feedback drones… Vibrato-heavy harmonies chirrup and throb in agonisingly slow motion.”
The Guardian, Album of the Month

“Cinematic...carefully orchestrated...delicately explores unfamiliar territory with uncanny finesse.”
