Portland, United States (2008 – present)

Formed in Portland, Oregon in 2008 by Madison Asche, Álfheimr’s first release “These Songs We Sing Will Fade to Silence” was released on several blogs, with Post Rock Community saying to listen to “These Songs We Sing” is to “enter a world in that everything seems to be beautiful.” The Siren’s Sound praised “the art of projecting the distortions,” and “The love of mixing, merging and making a blend that is uncomparable and unparalleled.” Álfheimr’s second album, ‘Dream Sequences’, was released in early 2010 to positive reviews from blogs such as Exhale the Sound. Álfheimr’s third album, ‘What Allows Us To Endure’, was released on February 28th, with blogs like Muzik Dizcovery praising ‘its hauntingly beautiful ambiance and synth effects’, stating ‘The sound Álfheimr is able to create is unparalleled and stunning.’

    I am still amazed by 'These Songs We Sing Will Fade to Silence'. This is what I got at the very beginning of Alfheimr, and to me this is the best post rock debut album I've ever listened to. Hope I'm ever lucky enough to hold a copy of this in my hands.

    Álfheimr needs your help! This is an exclusive download for anyone who donates $10 or more toward me getting a new computer so I can continue to make music for you wonderful folks. I haven't sold my soul to any copyright societies, so I gotta get the money for a new computer somehow. You can still listen to it for free, though! I hope you all like it. - Álfheimr http://alfheimr.bandcamp.com/album/here

    My favorite post-rock artist since I found him in October 2010. All of my boners for this fantastic music.

    Just finished the 'Predatory Nature' single. It's so, so good.

    The first time I listened to 'What Will Allow Us to Endure', I may or may not have wept with joy. I'll let you decide which is true.
