"If you please everyone, it's probably mediocre"

I am delighted to deliver the second part of my conversation with the quite fantastic Olafur Arnalds. In this wide-ranging chat we unearth the bain of Oli’s existence…it’s questions about Iceland’s landscapes, we find out that the best colabs come from being with friends in the studio, how vital it is to strip away the ego of the artist when making music and Oli reveals that despite playing in the Grand Duchy before, he is yet to breathe Luxembourg air. If you have not yet listened to the first part of this interview, do yourself (and ergo myself) a favour, head there first, then come back to feast on this one. Thanks kindly.
