  Prog-jazz? Synthesizers and guitar add distinctive colourings to Pálsson's lovely tenor tone. Creative, unusual, varied and cohesive. (and nice to bump into Hilmar Jensson's guitar again, worth checking him out on Jim Black's Alasnoaxis).

  All the compositions on Varp has an unique intensity and charisma - whether they are down or up tempo - that stays with you long after you pressed the stop button. This award-winning album is cleverly backed up by Icelandic jazz eliters; Valdimar Kolbeinn Sigurjónsson, Hilmar Jensson, Matthías Hemstock and Davíð Þór Jónsson, whom all contribute brilliantly with their significant and edgy playing styles.
  With pieces such as the pensive, beautiful "Eftirmáli" to the frantic, hardrock-driven "Hotel Bristol", Joel Pálsson not only proves his spot as one of Iceland's absolute best jazz musicians but also as one of the leading composers.
  Varp is one without any doubt one of my all-time favorite Icelandic jazz albums, and should by no chance be missed by anyone discovering Icelandic jazz.
