Jóhann Jóhannsson: Deep Cuts
Apple Music
An exploration of Jóhann Jóhannsson's deeper catalog reveals more aggressive vibes. “10 Rokkstig” is a pulsing, Krautrock-inspired jam that breaks away from his typical heaviness, whereas the murky drones of BJNilsen's remix of “Hospital” tease out the song's darker side. Ultimately, Jóhannsson's explorations of the dissonance of modern life often yield wondrous, positive outcomes (“The Gift”).
