Steindór's CD is a collection of popular 20th century rímur by sundry authors and his form of chanting shows strong influences from central European forms of singing, phrasing and the equal temperament system but traditional chanting is more atonal and rhythmic than this, in fact at times this is as much singing as chanting.

This is a collection of Icelandic epic and proverbs set to musical poetry by Steindor Andersen, one of the top proponents of the rimur form and a previous collaborator with Sigur Ros. The production comes from Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson, a curious explorer of sound best known for his work on Björk's albums. While rimur is essentially a solo vocal form sung at gatherings, the dimensions of the sound are usually done in nonreverberant locations. Hilmarsson took the opportunity of this recording to explore how rimur sounded in large churches, small lofts, and all points in-between.
