The ever-so-lovely Bjork has spoken for the merger of the beautiful and logical. In an interview with the Guardian, the Icelandic damsel said: “Well, seems like science and art were pretty much the same thing for thousands of years until the industrial revolution and the enlightenment separated them. I feel the 21st century is going to be the one where not only they can unite again but they have to …”

The first grimace was kind of weird, but it picked up towards the end.
Kate Bush has decided to unleash another album after a 6 year hiatus. “Wild Man” is supposed to be released soon and is the first single from the album 50 Words For Snow, which features Elton John and Stephen Fry. The album sounds like a return to her roots on a different direction than Aerial. We are liking it. Click below to listen to it.
Could this be another one of those ballads like “Issues” which, at first, sounds too overproduced and then grows and grows?
This is a hot beat. More to come from this band, for sures!
Way out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, between Iceland and Scotland, is a cluster of 18 small islands called the Faroe Islands. Thats where Gudrid Hansdóttir was born and raised. Her music is a Lilith Fair-worthy blend of chamber pop and perky folk-rock and the past years she´s been performing in Europe and USA.
Gudrid started singing at an early age and shared a high interest in Music. She loved going through her fathers vinyl records and she discovered great artists like Kate Bush, Dolly Parton, Jethro Tull and Jimi Hendrix. Her father was a highly skilled guitar player on the Faroes and on Gudrid´s 14 year old birthday he taught her a couple of guitar chords and she started writing songs of her own.

We finally sat down to give Melanie C’s The Sea a listen and we have to say that the album cuts are much better than the singles. Still, as avid fans of the Sporty One we haven’t yet found what we are looking for in this one.
Formerly of GusGus, Hafdis Huld has done well as a solo artists. The Icelandic muse is already on the campaign for her third album and this is the lead single off of it. It’s kooky, as we came to expect from her, but also perfect for those crisp autumn mornings. The lyrics are simple yet striking. The arrangement is the same without straying too far away from her signature sound which is a great mixture between winter folk and playground love. This track is a breezy numbered that will leave you wanting more.
