Once in a Long, Long While... is the third album by Icelandic band Low Roar, released on April 14, 2017.[1][2] The album's lyrics are inspired by Ryan Karazija's recent divorce and his life as an expatriate in Iceland.[3] One reviewer described the album as "flow[ing] between dreamy and floating and more solidly rhythmic tracks,"[4] and another described it as having an "atmosphere [that] never permits the sun to linger for very long, shutting it out with harsh, icy synth."[5] The song “Waiting (10 Years)" was released as a single.[6]
