look up cocorosie on kexp!

Was gonna say - you haven't hehard of coco rosie then

feels like easy listening or trance to me... either way- beautiful!

Yes new generations Björk transcending sounds of icelandic landscapes shifts in my mind

If these are the only Icelandic names you know, do yourself a favour and dive into the icelandic scene some more. I don't know what they put in the water overthere, but they have crazy talent!

kkkkkkkkkk eu tb, socorro

I agree, preferred their previous set on KEXP. I think they're giving off more Björk vibes now purely by the weird cloth they put on. :D

Reminds me more of Beth Gibbons than Bjork.... ( That's a good thing by the way...)

I think people often compare Icelandic musicians to Björk because she was the first worldwide famous musician from this remote country. We don't have many other references (until now that more musicians are coming out from there), so it is natural to make this cognitive relation. Also because there are some similarities that are subtle. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the music itself but with the mystical vibes and with the sonority of the language. Very characteristic from that language that differs from other is that it comes from and to the inside of the body. It is like fairy whispering. But definitely Björk is wilder and louder and playing more with cacophony.

Totally agree - it's lazy thinking. Jófríður doesn't sound like Bjork. Aurora doesn't sound like Bjork, and any number of pagan Icelandic / Scandinavian stuff doesn't sound like Bjork but it all get's bundled - even the Sugarcubes don't sound like "BJORK" as we think of her (maybe even Bjork doesn't sound like Bjork given that she's always changing and bless her for that). Jófríður's beautiful voice draws me closer to EARLY Clannad (not the later commercial stuff) but there's a big dub / ambient dub element (I'm thinking the mighty Zion Train here - perhaps more relevant to the first KEXP set?) so even that isn't a real comparison. Why compare? This is them. It is wonderful. End of story. All else is meaningless

Josh G If he's a real metalhead, he'll definitely be up for almost any type of music. Especially if he's a musician himself. The best music takes inspiration from all genres.

You know how many rockers love depeche mode music us music

They do have a strong Icelandic connection. The Iceland Airwaves Festival is live on KEXP I believe. Not to mention a lot of artists from the Erased Tapes label appear on KEXP fairly regularly.
