<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nAbout the Post-Rock EZX & the Sundlaugin Studios<\/strong> Located in Reykjavik, Iceland, the Sundlaugin Studios is probably one of the world\u2019s most remote professional recording facilities. It originally served as a bathhouse in the 1930s but later underwent a major acoustic conversion to Icelandic artist Sigur R\u00f3s\u2019 personal high-end studio complex. The empty swimming pool with its perfectly balanced walls produce a bright but still warm and reverberant tone unlike any other room. In here, the best microphones, outboard and gear have captured the likes of S\u00f3lstafir, Jon Hopkins and Spiritualized as well as several of Sigur R\u00f3s\u2019 own records. In addition to the four complete kits recorded using traditional drum sticks, this library includes felt mallet and brushed options as well as several extra snares, a large variety of cymbals and custom percussion pieces.<\/p>\n FEATURE SPOTLIGHT<\/strong>
\n\u201dDramatic. A force of nature. Unpredictable and almost cinematic.\u201d When asked how to put words to the term post-rock, these were the first that came to mind for Birgir J\u00f3n Birgisson and Arnar G\u00edslason, engineer and drummer behind the EZX with the same name. And there is likely no better setting to capture the very essence of just that than in Iceland\u2019s Sundlaugin Studios. In an ever-shifting landscape chiseled from millions of years of volcanic lava, with a waterfall a stone\u2019s throw away and with a glacier stream literally running beneath it, there it sits on the outskirts of Reykjavik. And if you look out the window at the scenic wonder where extremes on opposite ends of the scale fuse and melt together into something untamed, wild and unpredictable, it\u2019s easy to understand why this is the ultimate backdrop for music with the very same dramaturgy. Welcome to possibly the world\u2019s most comprehensive palette of drums tailored for post-rock \u2013 kits fit for anything from the most subtle, open soundscapes to explosive outbursts and crescendos.<\/p>\n
