“Talking about ambition, this loaded album seems to have fallen from the sky. Behind the music is Kjartan Orri Ingvason, hence explaining the name. The music is wide sounding, country influenced dark sided pop ballad like, bringing out names like Neil Young, Nick Cave and The Band. Strings, horns, steel guitars amongst many other instruments builds up a mighty overall sound……..” Translated from Morgunblaðið 12/09/2009 3&1/2 out of 5 stars.
“The artist offers us a multi-layered vision of music with focus on indie folk, alternative country, Americana and blues, but not only. Also, portrayal from the 60's and 70's rock. Stylistically, it cannot be constrained into one specific drawer. I sometimes hear here echoes of such groups as Beck, The National, Will Oldham, Shearwater, The Beatles. There is also something here that we are used to by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Lou Reed. "Sum of all things" is one of those albums that you listen with interest from the beginning to the end in full focus and very happy to come back to it. Repeatedly. It is really colorful and diverse - this is the strength of this very pleasant album. 4.4 of 5 Translated from http://www.stacjaislandia.pl
The music content of "Solitude" has a soul. There are many emotions here. You listen to it perfectly. Discover this sound and verbal world of Koi slowly. Let this climate slowly take you down. 4.8 of 5 Translated from http://www.stacjaislandia.pl
