Kylie Minogue collaborates with Icelandic band Mum on “Whistle!”
by Loft965.com
This is almost as surprising as when Ani DiFranco collaborated with Jackie Chan. Or something like that. Our favorite dance diva has collaborated with one of our fave Icelandic bands. Yes, who knew it would ever but the power of the soundtrack has brought them together. Kylie Minogue and Mum collaborated and this is the result! Now, all we need is a collaboration between Beyonce and Lianne La Havas and we will be momentarily happy.

Video Premiere:”Pretty Face” by Sóley
by Loft965.com
Accompanying her tour, Sóley now releases her sullen song “Pretty Face” as a digital single. Due to the overwhelming reactions to her debut album ‘We Sink’, released in 2011 on Morr Music, this single starts with a simple & fragile piano intro, just to turn into a crispy and seductive pop tune.

This is part of the Sigur Rós ‘Valtari’ Mystery Film Experiment. “Ég anda” by Ramin Bahrani, taken from the “valtari mystery film experiment.”

Ólöf Arnalds releases covers EP
by Loft965.com
Slowly but surely, Olof Arnalds’ (not to be confused with her electro toting cousin Olafur Arnalds) profile has travelled from obscure Icelandic artist (see Vig og Vio) to becoming somewhat more recognised outside of her native Scandinavia – Bjork’s cameo on Innundir Skinni being a high point. Whilst we’re yet to see what her third LP will deliver, Olof Sings – a collection of five covers, some of which she’s already performed live – could be a small signifier of […]
