Although initially the solo project of Sindri Már Sigfússon, Icelandic indie folk outfit Seabear had morphed into a seven-piece band by 2007, when the group made its full-length debut with The Ghost That Carried Us Away. The album's textured, mostly acoustic instrumentation, tender lead vocals, and gentle backing harmonies reappeared on the follow-up, 2010's We Built a Fire. Sigfússon then turned his attention to the more indie electronic-minded Sin Fang, releasing five albums under the alias during the 2010s before returning to folk-rock inspirations with 2022's In Another Life by a reunited Seabear.
