Art Garfunkel-looking Icelandic singer Snorri Helgason has a very beautiful voice that I really wasn’t expecting, for some reason. “Ólán” is a track that’s previously seen the light of day on a compilation of Icelandic music called “Hitaveitan” that also featured Reykjavik scene stalwarts and upstarts like FM Belfast, Hjaltalin, Mugison, Retron and Sudden Weather Change. Snorri is apparently heading over to London for a while this year, so we’ll look forward to seeing (and hearing) a bit more of him around the doors.
