5 Icelandic bands to check out other than Sigur Ros
There is much to love about Iceland. The 11PM sunset, the orchestral Aurora Borealis, the eerie yet soothing landscape, and of course, the music that churns from its cold bosom. It goes without saying that Sigur Ros is up there on the list – well, at least for me anyway, but Iceland does hold a few hometown glories that they can be as proud of. Here are five other Icelandic music acts that who aren’t totally like Sigur Ros but will give you a different perspective of the land far, far away.
