R B Artist Jordanna On Burning Down The Patriarchy Then Getting A Manicure

A Reader staffer shares three musical obsessions, then asks someone (who asks someone else) to take a turn.

I Live Inside A Burning House by Body Void

Ólafur Arnalds I’ve been listening to Icelandic minimalist composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds since 2008, when I discovered his first album, Eulogy for Evolution. Arnalds creates music that paints grand landscapes in your mind and makes you breathe deep breaths of sadness, joy, and wonder. I recently saw him perform at Thalia Hall, and it was the first concert I’ve been to in a long time that made me cry. He’s back at Thalia in February—I highly recommend this show.
