I’m sorry, but that’s not quite right… The Icelandic word for “eight” is actually “átta”, while “ótta” means the time of the day just before dawn. The other titles of the album are also named after times of the day, like “dawn”, “noon” and so on.
Just heard some songs on YouTube and goddamn! This music is beautiful!
