I know picking a favorite artist is difficult choice, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Ólafur Arnalds.
Every—Single—Thing this guy puts out makes my jaw drop, I even love his full-on electronic music project, Kiasmos.
His latest release, a collaboration with Talos, is nothing less than breathtaking in beauty and emotion.
Ólafur Arnalds released a new album called A Dawning in collaboration with Talos.
I've heard snippets on NewPipe and it sounds gorgeous. It's only available on physical copies which cost a lot, or ones streaming services which I will never use.
Why won't artists just keep putting stuff on bandcamp or fair play?

ended the long weekend and started the short week with Variations of Static
by Ólafur Arnalds from 2008 on Erased Tapes
The Bandcamp description:
"Only 21 years of age, Olafur hails from the suburban Icelandic town , Mosfellsbaer, just a few Kilometres outside Reykjavik. He has immersed himself completely in the world of delicate symphonic compositions in a near weightless orchestral undertaking. Mixing strings and piano with loops, ambience, electronics and beats, his music fits into the Erased Tapes catalogue like a peice of a jigsaw puzzle. Debut album 'Eulogy for Evolution' took the listener on a journey, representing different periods in life, from birth to death. While keeping the classic foundations of his debut, here arnalds incorporates crackling electronics and the dead voice of a machin; like vague memories of tradition lost within the digital age we all live in."
Welcomed sleep yesterday and then greeted Friday with Eulogy for Evolution is Icelandic producer Ólafur Arnalds' first studio album, released on 1 October 2007 by Erased Tapes Records. With the album, Arnalds set out to document the journey of life, from birth to death.
Arnalds wrote on the occasion of the 2017 reissue and remastering of the LP:
"It was an ambitious outing. When I was 18 my uncle passed away from cancer. It was the first time I had experienced the passing of someone close to me, so I dedicated my work to him. Around the same time, his first grandchild was born, and was named after him. I was inspired by the joy and positivity he brought, and saw that somehow life was extended after our death. So I set out to create a solid piece of music that would take us through the circle of life."
