This summer, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs will present the full thrust of his polyglot electronica to the world, charging head first, just like a stegosaurus! (Coincidentally: He dresses like a stegosaurus in concert/promo photos.) I saw T-E-E-D at Iceland Airwaves after a SBTRKT set, where the two made a logical pairing: these are crowd-rousing producers [...]

Oxford electronic pop artist Mr. Fogg , creates highly accessible, yet completely satisfying  immersive tales. He is set to release his 2nd record, Eleven on June 4th and has unveiled a new track from it called, “Sprint”. The clip was filmed during the recording sessions in Reykjavik, Iceland, and is seemingly the perfect place for a tale this inspiring and dreamy to take place. Even in main of the rainy shots, the place is breathtaking. While sadly I’ve just found about this great artist now, I can’t wait to hear what the whole record sounds like. Mr. Fogg - “Sprint ...

There's a moment early on in 'Ég Anda' – the opening track on Valtari , the sixth album from Iceland's Sigur Rós – when a series of solemn chants transcend gently whirring strings, and take on the form of multiple sighs of relief being unleashed at once. Its almost as if one can hear the group's devoted fanbase brought to an anticipated hush, and who could blame them? Since their 1999 breakthrough Ágaetis Byrjun first caused a stir on a global level, Sigur Rós have – for better or worse – followed their own unique trajectory, irrespective of passing cultural ephemera; a ...

Valtari 's collection of gorgeous, moody sound-washes fits right into the band's remarkable catalog. Timeless and utterly distinct, it could have come from Iceland circa 2000 or the prettiest spot on Mars circa 2080.

The video features footage from Oxford based Mr Fogg's recent trip to Iceland, where he recorded the album with legendary producer Valgeir Sigurdsson. Continue reading →

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 ...

Ourlives. An Iceland 4-piece who make very cool music. Here’s MPfrees: Heart Where is the Way?

f Iceland is anything like how I imagine it in my head then it is the coolest place in the world. Because as far as I can tell it's some kind of magical land and musical haven with a disproportionate amount of amazing bands and some pretty sweet scenery as well. The latest band to reinforce this belief is Of Monsters And Men, an Icelandic sextet who released their debut album, 'My Head Is An Animal', earlier this year. Since getting my hands on it I have become absolutely obsessed with one song in particular, 'Little Talks'.
