Olof Arnalds - "Klara" - SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artist

Icelandic folk chanteuse Ólöf Arnalds has been a prominent figure in her native music scene for several years as a member of Múm.

@MinesAGuinness I'm jealous! Sujan Stevens is playing as well. That should be amazing. Have a few pints of the black stuff while you're there. Stealing Sheep's new one I am the Rain is really cool as well. youtube.com/watch?v=K2JgXLizs1­4

@AmericaRuinsYou

You make me feel bad about being an american

1. You're homophobic

2. You have no class

3. You're so close minded towards foreign arts.

4. You just got pwned

Cool song. Check out psychedelic all-girl group Stealing Sheep, like Olof Arnalds relocated to England. youtube.com/watch?v=WIvFzQjDB0­U&feature=related
