Press Highlights
“Blindur presents the new album “A”, with the collaboration of Birgir Birgisson, sound engineer of Sigur Ros and Bjork. The influence of Iceland is clear in Blindur’s folk, alternative rock and songwriting sounds, an album that talks about darkness, fear, obsessions, pain but also light, courage, dreams”
La Repubblica ed. Milano, 03/05/2019
“It’s like a veil of lightness envelops equally profound messages, certainly no longer reassuring […] There are intentions like Bluvertigo in 3000x, diverted into a psychedelic ending. There is the Zen Circus folk in Futuro Presente, but there is still alt-country and place for songwriting reflections, research and experimentation. De Vita is a good writer and has its authenticity and candor.He is natural and, apart from references, it has his own character.”
Rumore, review by Barbara Santi 01/04/2019
“De Vita has personality, if not yet originality, he tells the generation that enters the thirty years, convinced, as his majesty Leonard Cohen, that if there really is a crack in everything, a light can come from there. Valuable for a blind person (which is the meaning of Blindur in Icelandic) as for those who presume to see well, clear and far. ”

“Blindur offers a music album with great sound impact. […] An alternative rock veined with folk and embellished with direct and corrosive lyrics that speak about an uncertain future, dreams, questions and poetic hope.”
Vinile, review by Michele Neri 01/05/2019
“The sound coordinates are basically unchanged, but it starts from the magic that made the first album the promise of something special […]. At times the dough brings us to the gang’s combative folk pop”
Blow up, review by Piergiorgio Pardo 04/07/2019
“”A”. The beginning. A new beginning? It is for Blindur, and perhaps it will be for every listener who will hold the new album in his hands. […] The melodies range from classic songwriting to the alternative, caressing folk, until they get lost in dreamy post-rock atmospheres. Everything comes as a fragmentation bullet. The posthumous outbreak does the damage. ”
Music.it, review by Matteo Butkovic 19/04/2019
“Folk elements remain but linked or alternating with more enveloping, powerful and full-bodied sounds, between incisive or explosive rhythms, intense interpretations, alt-rock guitars, sinuous and serpentine or melancholic, percussions and bittersweet melodies and rare intimate synths to sing illusions, anxieties , dreams, mistakes, scars and hopes.”
