"Gleði (Joy)" by Mark W. Georgsson

 


Three years ago Scotsman Mark W. Georgsson impressed us with his 12" release Comes A Time (our feature here). That record revealed an artist capable of expressing himself well in multiple styles, including country, folk, Americana, Norse and Celtic. The man is back this month with a new four-track EP Things Have Changed, to be released September 29 via Last Night From Glasgow. While one track was released previously as a single, our first taste new single "Gleði" (the term means joy in Icelandic and Faroese). For most of its running time, the song is an appealing folk rock tune. The surprise comes in the form of a sunny, psychedelic finishing touch. The man can play the guitar with flair!

The single is out now, and it comes with B-side "Bewildered".
