About

DG releases Jóhann Jóhannsson’s critically-acclaimed debut album in a newly-remastered version - now with much fuller and improved sound, and combined with a complete album of brand-new reworks!

Englabörn is a jewel from Jóhann’s special catalogue. Together with the new Variations, this double album – beginning with the hauntingly beautiful and intriguing track, “Odi et Amo”, takes the listener on a journey through the composer’s extraordinary and unique sound-world.

Variations features reworks by internationally acclaimed artists such as legendary Ryūichi Sakamoto, A Winged Victory for the Sullen (feat. Dustin O’Halloran), Theater of Voices and Alex Somers, as well as DG’s very own Víkingur Ólafsson – to name but a few.

Jóhann’s new OST for “The Mercy” will also feature one of the tracks from Englabörn Remastered: “Karen Býr Til Engil”.

“I liked that we exchanged remixes for our friendship and appreciation. His music is outstanding for the intense sonority and lyricism. And it is deeply Icelandic to my ear.” – Ryūichi Sakamoto about the collaboration with Jóhann
