Die fünfte Ausgabe der "Made In Iceland"-Compilation ist jüngst erschienen — und zwar nicht nur physisch, sondern auch gratis im Stream. Während Sigur Rós und Björk noch immer als Aushängeschilder der Insel rund um die nördlichste Hauptstadt der Welt dienen, hat Island in letzter Zeit einige der spannendsten Newcomer herausgebracht. Bands wie Retro Stefson , FM Belfast , GusGus und Helgi Jonsson erfreuen sich mittlerweile auch außerhalb des Landes recht großer Beliebtheit. "Made In Iceland V" hält neben diesen auch noch Dreampop-Songs à la Sóley, über tanzbare Electro-Hits von Sykur bis hin zu den Bluesmelodien von Lay Low und einige Geheimtipps bereit ...

One of our favourite Icelandic electronic ensembles as of late, FM Belfast , released new single "Stripes" yesterday, and I am really loving this one. Then again, I've been a fan of pretty much everything these guys do. "Stripes" is the first track of their most recent album I Don't Want To Sleep and in true FM Belfast style, is a slightly quirky, highly enlivening, synth-studded foot-mover. Apparently a music video is coming soon as well, we'll keep you updated, but for now enjoy streaming the track below!

Das isländische Quartett Agent Fresco macht polyrhythmischen Prog-Rock, hat in seinem Heimatland über die vergangenen Jahre so ziemlich alle wichtigen Musikpreise abgeräumt und will nun auch außerhalb der Insel mit dem Debüt-Album "A Long Time Listening" punkten, welches hierzulande am 11. Mai erscheinen wird. Mit der ersten Single "Tempo" möchte die Band bereits ein Ausrufezeichen setzen. Der Song beginnt gewohnt melancholisch, Sänger Arnór trägt seine gefühlvollen Lyrics vor und wird dabei von einem akustischen Bass begleitet, die Drums spielen gegen die sanften Gitarren. Doch das Stück bietet noch allerhand Überraschung im weiteren Verlauf und unterstreicht so die musikalische Vielseitigkeit der ...

Collarbones have taken a break from recording the follow-up to last year’s Iconography (#15 in our annual Critics Poll to put together this summer mega mix featuring tracks from The Mavis’s, t.A.T.u., Dro Carey and Cyst Impaled. Here’s a synopsis: “Huffing nangs to make music to huff nangs to . A summer of ecstasy followed by a bizarre comedown and life affirming post-PLUR coitus. Windows ME and Windows You. The rejected soundtrack to the upcoming season of iCarly . A love letter to Internet ADHD.” The duo – Adelaide's Travis Cook and Sydney's Marcus Whale ...

Apparat Organ Quartet have announced a new remix project based on their 'Pólyfónía'. Founded in Iceland, Apparat Organ Quartet don't quite fit into any existing genre. Using vintage equipment, the band's material sits somewhere between the motorik rhythms of Krautrock and the space rock of Hawkwind. To be exact, the band aren't even a quartet - they have five members. 'Pólyfónía' saw the group reach a wider audience, and it seems that the material from that album could yet have a further impact. Stems from 'Pólyfónía' have been handed to a number of producers, with the results due ...
