Afleiðingar is a good introduction to Ateria as it invites us to a magical journey to a dissonant world of sounds with poignant lyrics in Icelandic. The song begins with simple guitar plucking, but a drumbeat and a prominent bass line soon join in along with Eir‘s falsetto voice. The lyrics describe the emotional rummaging Eir experienced in communication with “the worst teacher in the world” when the siblings lived in Spain. The listener feels Eir‘s escalating irritation of the teacher‘s malice, both in the lyrics and the structure of the song, as it grows bigger and bigger and hits home at the climax as a great rock song that reminds one of Sigur rós or Portishead.
