(Bjarni Þór Jensson, who contributes guitar to the track, also provided the mixing.)\n\nHowever, in very early January this year, Hjálmtýsson was struck by tragedy when one of his best friends and fellow musicians, passed away unexpectedly.\n\nThe loss struck Hjálmtýsson hard and upon retreating to his basement, an amended melody and lyrics came to him amongst the grief and shock, informed by the type of pain which accompanies that type of sudden loss.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
