There’s a definite and recognised Icelandic ‘sound’, characterised overtly pretty, etherial melodies, played quietly, and popularised by bands like Múm and Sigur Rós. But there’s also a lot of space yet to be explored within this kind of ambient, heartfelt melancholia. Rökkurró are a scarily young and scarily talented young band who do exactly that, exhibiting spirit, subtlety and versatility across the course of their amazing debut “Í Annan Heim”. They hit London for a couple of shows this October; 21st at The Lexington and 23rd at the Windmill. Don’t miss it.
