Hildur Guðnadóttir’s Without Sinking expanded her solo work through collaborations with close musical partners including Skúli Sverrisson and Jóhann Jóhannsson. Originally released in 2009, the album balances intimate compositions with a strong sense of creative exchange, highlighting the connections that have long shaped Guðnadóttir’s music. Several pieces from Without Sinking are revisited on This Will Be Us, where they are reinterpreted with full orchestral arrangements.
