Amiina – Fantômas

Released in November 2016.
winner of Kraumur Music Awards for one of the 6 best albums of the year 2016.

This double LP is melancholic and ethereal, yet full of suspense, pounding rhythms and haunting melodies. The score Fantômas was commissioned by Yann Tiersen in 2013 for a special Halloween event, celebrating the centenary of the Fantômas series.

Originally composed as a live score to the silent masterpiece from 1913, amiina’s members decided right from the start that the music would also be able to stand on its own, independent of the visual narrative.
