"The Summerlands" is the first CDR of Maelifell. It features the same kind of minimalist and folkly, "peasant" music with some more martial / epic moments, than on their first tape. The sounds are different, though. It doesn't sound anymore like "toy keyboard" music. The sounds are more realistic even if they still sound very 90's. Yet, the overall sound is not very good; there is tape hiss and sometimes you can hear that the tape they digitized for this Bandcamp release is a bit tired. The tracks vary from faux-medieval (synthetic) harmonium solos to orchestral neoclassic music, with more ambient and neofolk (in the Sol Invictus meaning of the term) attempts. The synthetic guitar sound is not very convincing, and still the whole release has something fresh and enthusiatic that can be seducing if you can bear the very amateurish side of that band.
