Jónsi has just unveiled his latest composition, releasing “Forest Trill”, the fourth release single from his upcoming score album, First Light. Listeners are transported to a scene of a forest at dawn with the intricate weaving of delicate melodies and the gentle sounds of nature. 

“Forest Trill” opens with the soft chirping of birds, setting the stage for an intimate musical escapade that resembles the first light of day breaking through the trees in a dewy forest. The track features a light string ensemble, creating an exciting melody with each note lightly dancing into the next. The layered strings and ambient sounds flow together like a gentle breeze, enrapturing the listener into a forest adventure of discovery. The soft repeating chimes paired with the rapidly progressing beats evoke an auditory sensation in the listener that is nearly indescribably beautiful. 

The single invites listeners into a carefree adventure through the forest, where every twist and turn brings a newly discovered delight, making it a perfect escape from the chaos of the real world through a reconnection with nature. 

You can listen to and share “Forest Trill” below, and pre-order First Light to experience the full album upon its release this month, on August 30th.
