Hailing from Iceland, Sketches for Albinos is a one man band comprised entirely of Matthew Collings. This collection of tracks are individually beautiful, combine them and what you get is something wonderfully brilliant. At times quiet, slow and methodical there is the occasional song that is louder, faster and more chaotic, each track has its own distinct sound and each one tells a story.

Matt has been polishing the album for over a year, and it shows. Every track sounds lovingly crafted and it feels like it's at the highest level it could be before it was released. Being post-rock/electronica, and being from Iceland I have to draw comparisons to Sigur Ros, something I am sure that Matt won't mind. Like Sigur Ros each Sketches song creates a glorious soundscape for the artist to draw the listener into, Sigur Ros aren't the only obvious influence though, there are on occasions things that sound very much like Godspeed You Black Emperor. All of the tracks are instrumental, some with pre-recorded vocals weaved in and others with the odd, random noise, every time you hear a track it's like hearing it for the first time because you are able to pick out something you missed last time.
