Amina, Sigur Ros, Without Gravity | Iceland in NYC

“Icelandic music hit the international scene with The Sugarcubes in the eighties, followed by Björk’s solo takeover in the nineties, and, in the last decade, several bands and solo acts have followed suit. Sigur Rós, Múm, Bang Gang, Mugison, Minus and Slowblow are a few of the more recent names, and there are even more unpronounceable ones to look forward to in the coming years. Because of Iceland’s explosive impact on the US, The Icelandic Consulate is bringing its gifts of Music and Film to the City of New York.”

“Similar to Sigur Ros in that their music has a completely unearthly quality, AminA are compelling and strange, beautiful and innovative; using a unique set of instruments, AminA create an enchanting soundscape.” [Music Slut]
