Oct 30, 2017 Gyda Valtysdottir By Laura Studarus

Personal update: Our bags are packed. Relevant update: We’ve got a few more Iceland Airwaves mixtapes for you. Today’s entry comes from Gyda Valtysdottir. A notable member of the Reykjavík music community, Valtysdottir writes bewitching cello compositions in addition to the brag-worthy achievement of co-founding Múm. Check out her mix below.

“This is a post-airwaves mixtape, it´s for those days after you´ve return to your everyday life and the memories from the festival start to create a bittersweet cloud of melancholy around you,” she says of her picks. “It feels sometimes like a minor heartbreak, to come down after a blissful time. This is a playlist of music that feels holy to me, almost like a warm hug. Dim the lights, burn a candle and for ultimate effect find a friend, take your clothes off and stroke each other’s skin. Enjoy.”
