Not much deviation from Ólafur Arnalds' style. However, "Himininn er að hrynja, en stjörnurnar fara þér vel" creates immediate impact. An eerie, child-bot voice was used into two of the songs here to great effect.

Ólafur Arnalds' music is instantly affecting, unlike most of today's cookie-cutter post-rock artists. Perhaps, it's because of the cohesiveness and brilliance of his piano-driven art and his truthfulness that makes Eulogy for Evolution stand out from the rest.
