    She succeeds by involving lots of traditional instrumentation from various regions of the continent, and allowing for a variety of vocalists to join her throughout. [Oct 2014, p.100]

    Despite the presence of several relatively bland songs, this album stands out for Irglová’s more interesting musical choices, which all pay off in more interesting songs. The end result is that Muna feels like a major sonic step forward for Irglová.

    There are moments in its middle that blend together, like experiments that weren’t properly executed. That said, with the fantastic and intricate highs of this album, Irglová has proven herself as a solo artist.

    Irglová’s sophomore release, Muna (Icelandic for “to remember”), still has a delicate, emotive touch, though the overly sombre approach to her cinematic folk tunes makes for a somewhat unvaried listen over 51 minutes.

    Too often on Muna she falls back to silence, when she should be singing and playing with force.
