New-ish music compilation from the small island, Iceland. Most bands are (as yet) little known here, though Gus Gus and Mum contribute also. ** 1. Plodding, rough; melodic vocals with a slightly berserk edge ** 2. Slightly Feist-y semi-squawking vocal over slow acoustic blues ** 3. Quiet and slow indie folk with funny self-improvement lyrics; BUT multiple "fucked-up"s *** 4. Precious, delicate, pretty, as Mum can be *** 5. Bouncy yet laid-back disco number from Gus Gus; catchy too *** 6. Raw, yet catchy punk/shred rock in the vein of Mclusky *** 7. Keening, desperate, as befits a song named after a film of the same name that was also (but way more so) desperate and passionate ** 8. Twee pop? By a group called Seabear? No way. * 9. Verging on parodic both musically and lyrically * 10. Driving pop, sort of generic but for the ironic lyrics *** 11. Sort of unhinged post-punk, circa 1981; female vocals crying/baying over teased guitar; weird synth screen completes the arrangement * 12. Indie power ballad *** 13. Nice hook, builds nicely, shrieky organ near end is cool ** 14. Indie pop metal; the sax accents provide levity ** 15. Some cool guitar riffing but ridiculous lyrics *** 16. Mutant/old skool hip hop (with sax) from Iceland? No way that MC is Icelandic, tho’ ** 17. Imitation Buzzcocks on the verses; the choruses not as good | ||
