Once in a Long, Long While… (Low Roar) [CD]

Once in a Long, Long While… is the third album by Icelandic band Low Roar, released on April 14, 2017. The album’s lyrics are inspired by Ryan Karazija’s recent divorce and his life as an expatriate in Iceland.

One reviewer described the album as “flow[ing] between dreamy and floating and more solidly rhythmic tracks,” and another described it as having an “atmosphere [that] never permits the sun to linger for very long, shutting it out with harsh, icy synth.” The song “Waiting (10 Years)” was released as a single.

The opening track, Don’t Be So Serious, was used as the opening song for the 2019 game Death Stranding, with many other tracks being featured on the soundtrack as well.
