\nAmiina\u2019s debut album, Kurr<\/em> (2007), was performed on a disparate jumble of instruments—musical saws, kalimbas, music boxes and seemingly anything that could be plucked, bowed or beaten on—resulting in a work that ebbed and flowed \u201cin a strange, powerful place between sophistication and innocence,\u201d according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\nWhile the above is equally true of Puzzle<\/em> (2010), this time around the group\u2019s sonic palette is broadened by the contributions of drummer Magn\u00fas Trygvason Eliassen and electronic artist Kippi Kaninus (Gu\u00f0mundur Vignir Karlsson), permanent members of the group since 2009. Accordingly, the songs on Puzzle are more rhythmically rugged than amiina\u2019s previous work and feature heavier use of electronics. amiina\u2019s long-standing fondness for zero-g melodies and open-minded instrumentation, however, continues.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n“Rugla”—the song embedded below—comes from Kurr<\/em>, and is a very pleasant way to wake up on a Tuesday morning . . . <\/p>\n
