Live: Ja Ja Ja Festival at Roundhouse
Scandi music authority Ja Ja Ja hosted it’s first ever festival at London’s Roundhouse this weekend. A stellar roster of up and coming Scandinavian buzzbands filled up this ultra cool venue.
For someone like me, I was a little bit of a kid in a candy shop. Highlights were:
Postiljonen (Sweden)
Sin Fang (Iceland)
Truls (Norway)
NONONO (Sweden)
Sin Fang – Young Boys (Jónsi Remix)
New Music: Snorri Helgason
Cute Icelandic pop. Check out here.
New Music: Ásgeir Trausti
I haven’t featured any Icelandic music in some time. I’m a fan of this- it’s a fusion of funk and pop and electro but doesn’t go overboard on the effects. It borders on being sexy. And that’s cool. Check out here.
New Music: Sísý Ey
First Listen: Bloodgroup ‘The Fall’
This Icelandic band have actually been around since their debut in 2008 but this is the first I’ve heard of them. Gorgeous dark electro.
First Listen: Thorunn Antonia ‘Electrify My Heart’
First Listen: Steed Lord ‘Secret Love’
A nice slice of disco from those crazy Icelandic party monsters.
First Watch: Jara ‘Hope’
New Music: Dikta
Very well crafter Icelandic indie. They’re actually not new at all- they’ve been around since 1999 if Wikipedia is to be believed, but this is a very current track. And, well, it’s never too late… Check out here.
New Music: The Charlies
New Music: Jara
Quirky but edgy Icelandic pop. And it’s free! Check out here.
First Watch: Thorunn Antonia ‘So High’
There’s so much buzz around this Icelandic pop beauty that it’s exciting to wonder where’s it going to lead to.
New Music: Jon Jonsson
It’s Wednesday, and its half way through my holiday and I feel like I haven’t even started my break yet, which sucks. But anyway, this Icelandic chap has an infectiously happy sound that is already very popular in his homeland. This little song that should shake any midweek blues away. Check out here.
New Music: Thorunn Antonia
This one’s from Scandipop– new from Iceland! Check out here.
Another week, another Friday…
New Music: Of Monsters and Men
You’ve probably heard this track already- it’s pretty huge right now. Icelandic folk/pop. Check out here.
