I've been dreaming of going to Iceland Airwaves Music Festival for years. Sadly, instead of booking an Iceland Air flight, I succumb to ravishing the playlists they post to soundcloud. Some day I'll make it, just not this year. The first band on the list, 1860 , was an easy one to love with their featured song, "For You, Forever", including all of my favorites: handclaps, a mandolin, a trumpet, and easy sing-a-long lyrics. Their 2011 album, Sagan , is a daydream I'll happily get lost in, letting the [...]

![[Listen] – 1860 – “For You, Forever”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4142764_lg.jpg)
I realize " For You, Forever " has been out for a few months but it's new to me and is more than deserving of our attention. 1860 are an Icelandic band with a folk backbone and pop mindset. " For You, Forever " is a start to finish hold-hands and sing-along track meant for crush mixtapes and subtle playlist for co-ed drives. I love that these guys do half of their songs in English and the other half in Icelandic which makes for a very enjoyable listen with their combination [...]

Este mês, o Music Alliance Pact traz um tema (e o vídeo), "The Strangest Friend", de uma banda de Coimbra que, apesar de "Drunken Sailors & Happy Pirates" ser já o seu terceiro álbum, é praticamente desconhecida no seu país, Portugal, para além daqueles poucos que seguem e divulgam com interesse e amor a nossa música. No entanto, a sua obra já lhes rendeu glórias em alguma imprensa internacional como, por exemplo, na revista francesa Les Inrockuptibles, o que é, como sabemos, sempre um grande passo para serem conhecidos e divulgados em Portugal. Com a [...]
Earlier this Year, I was contacted by Matthew Pollesel, the man behind long-running Canadian music blog i(heart)music .

I was honoured to be asked, and proud to join the MAP ranks. Today's marks my initial contribution, and MAP's debut outing on Quick Before [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Shelves - Star Alright The much-anticipated debut album by Shelves was released this month on both vinyl and digital , resurrecting not just the choicest cuts of Britpop and college rock, but the very essence of the 90s Singapore scene. Yet the record sounds anything but dated, with its clever balance of crisp melodies and generous distortion pointing the way forward for indie rock today. That vision [...]
Hljómsveitin 1860 gefur í dag út sína fyrstu breiðskífu sem ber heitið Sagan . Útgefandi á Íslandi er Konunglega siglingasambandið en unnið er að útgáfu í Bandaríkjunum á vegum Gravitation Records . Titill plötunnar er bæði skírskotun í sagnahefðina innan þjóðlagatónlistar og einnig til heiðurs vísindamanninum Carl Sagan en hljómsveitarmeðlimir sækja mikinn innblástur í verk hans. Platan inniheldur þrettán lög, bæði á íslensku og ensku, og þar á meðal eru Snæfellsnes" og Orðsending að austan" sem hafa gert góða hluti í útvarpi þetta sumarið. Af tilefni plötunnar ætla drengirnir að bjóða fólki [...]

Meðlimir sveitarinnar hafa starfað í hinum ýmsu íslensku hljómsveitum í gegnum tíðina og hafa komið nálægt öllu frá jazzi yfir í rokk bæði á íslenskri og erlendri grundu. Þeir spila á hin ýmsu hljóðfæri á borð við mandólín, banjó, kontrabassa og harmonikku í bland við hefðbundnari hljóðfæri innan poppgeirans. Hljómsveitin lauk nýverið upptökum á sinni [...]
