Apr 23: Iceland

Another post where I explore some of the musicians from a particular country.

Today it's a place which actually has another of my blogs devoted to it: Iceland.

There are quite a few Icelandic bands I could mention in this post.

I've heard some of them playing live, and others have been regular fixtures in my listening for some years.

Sigur Rós should come first - it goes without saying.

Other bands I like listening to:

Arstiðir

The first album is perhaps the favourite.

Kaleo is another Icelandic musician who is known internationally.

Here's a RUV story about a planned concert that will take place at Thingvellir.

They are playing Þingvellir later this year if permission can be granted.

Here's one of Kaleo's most streamed songs on Spotify...


I've already blogged about Björk's connection with Rosalia at the Brits this year.

What are your favourite Icelandic bands?
