Of Monsters and Men Mountain Sound Official Video-T6Tul MvUgU on Vimeo. This neat little video for Of Monsters & Men latest release was filmed at their ‘thank you’ concert in Hljómskálagarðurinn, Reykjavík in July. I wasn’t there, but I wish I was. It looks like a good night out.
BON IVER “Holocene” on Vimeo. This video, and the beautiful music by Bon Iver, might just be the perfect way to start a Sunday morning. Beautiful shots of Icelandic scenery, including Jökulsárlón, and the importance of a good Lopapeysa. This, and a steaming mug of coffee, takes some beating. Mmmmm.
Phantogram – “When I’m Small” on Vimeo. It been two weeks, but I can’t get Airwaves out of my head. And not just because of the wind blowing down my ears. Other festival-goers have talked about being depressed afterwards, being in some sort of malaise. Me, I am using it to my advantage. I’ve been […]
Pascal Pinon – Little House Of Music – Iceland Airwaves from Inspired By Iceland on Vimeo. I’ve been listening to a lot of Pascal Pinon recently. These two girls from Iceland have delivered a fantastic new album called ‘twosomeness’ which is full of quirky little tunes that burrow into your head. In a good way. […]
Exitmusic are a band from New York City that played Iceland Airwaves last weekend. Centered around married couple Devon Church and Aleksa Palladino, they played concerts at Kex Hostel and Norðurljós in Harpa. Braving the vicious wind, whipped up sea and frozen water features to get to Harpa, my efforts are rewarded. Exitmusic play delicious […]
This diver is this years keyring to raise funds for ICE-SAR. I bought one on my recent trip to Reykjavík. It reminded me of an article I wrote a while back about ICE-SAR: Somewhere between Mývatn and Grímsstaðir, the road rose up into the mountains, through rocky valleys and deserted farms before the tarmac roads […]
I spotted this in a store in Reykjavík over the weekend. I want one for Christmas!
So Iceland Airwaves is over for another year. Concerts have been performed in all manner of venues, musicians have played their hearts out, Christmas brew has been drunk, emergency pylsur consumed, and the weather was a bit breezy at times. What follows is a roundup of the best Icelandic artists that played across the festival […]
I could tell you about the few off venue concerts that took place today. I could tell you about Ylja, My Bubbi and Mi, Samaris or Ósk. However, they were not the big news today at Airwaves. I usually don’t agree with the reduced schedule on the Sunday of Airwaves; it always seems like it […]
I start the day off at 5.20am with a fire alarm sounding, and jump straight out of bed, part of me still thinking that I’m at the FM Belfast concert that only finished a few hours before. To calm my nerves, I can’t think of a better tonic than Rökkurró, who deliver a truly delicious […]
Iceland, Defrosted
