I’m blessed to suddenly find myself spending much of my time in the company of babies. Profound reflection accompanies the obligatory cycle of overseeing sleeping, crying and diaper changes. For All Your Flowers is an ideal companion to my soul searching. Not only does the hushed tone of the new duet album by Skúli Sverrisson and Bill Frisell not wake napping infants, it stimulates mindful reflection on life’s beginnings and endings. Sentimental but not mundane, the serene 2025 recording by the Icelandic bassist and the American guitarist is a lowkey stunner.
