Benedikt H. Hermannsson is the man behind Benni Hemm Hemm 's dazzling, multi-instrumented indie-pop. He'll be appearing with his band of cohorts at the TLOBF sponsored all-Nordic "Ja Ja Ja" Club Night which is taking place at The Lexington, London on 27 January (tomorrow!). More details (including full line-up and ticket details) can be found here . For people out there that have never heard of you, give us three reasons why they should... Why they should hear about us? Hopefully because our music is good. That would be a good [...]
After a much deserved festive hiatus spent eating Lutefisk and the occasional roasted spud, Ja Ja Ja returns rejuvenated and refreshed for a new year packed with incredible talent. After Novembers sensational night which featured the debut UK performance from Niki and the Dove, January sees BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson pick three of his favourite Nordic acts - those being: Benni Hemm Hemm (Iceland), Montée (Norway) and Murmansk (Finland). Musically mixing up dazzling multi-instrumental indie-pop, adventurous disco beats and a little distorted and rough around the edges shoegaze. All cooking up a fantastic musical feast in the Nordic [...]

Thursday - I had quite a few sessions up for download, Cancel the Astronauts , Isobel Campbell and the Twilight Sad all did [...]
Ghost Pants Paul Carlin (aka the dude from Dananananaykroyd) is back with the third in his series of lo-fi EP's, and you know what, I reckon this might just be his best yet. Sticking with the 'heart's theme, this one is called 'Active Hearts' and although it's down as being free, I asked the man himself if it would be okay to say to folk that they can download it for free, he said 'yes'. What a nice man he is. You can get yourself a copy here . Ghost Pants make their live debut at the [...]
Recorded for you from the sunny, blazing hot mountains of Andalucia, this one is a little late being uploaded because we only just got back to Scotland and I decided I might as well wait until we got home before uploading it rather than charge all around Spain trying to find somewhere to upload from and then sitting around for ages waiting for the damn thing to... well, you get the picture. I actually spent much of the week editing Toad Session videos, which seems just a tiny little bit pathetic, even to me. Still, editing video whilst [...]
Benni Hemm Hemm could be forgiven for thinking I'd taken against him, given he has lived in Edinburgh for something like two years now, has been playing and releasing pretty much as an Edinburgh artist, and plays exactly the kind of music I love and... I've written nothing about him at all. Not that I have any obligation, but it seems strange to me. I've known of him, I really like the guy, and for some reason I've never really seriously made the time to sit down and really try and engage with his music. Sometimes all it [...]
I'm a bit late on this one I have to admit, but still this song is too good not to share wit you! Iceland's beloved music collective Benni Hemm Hemm released a 5-song EP called Retaliate back in April. Starting with the understated strum and singing that opens the title track, building into a string and piano-led arrangement that feels like a gentle triumph over darkness, the EP finds Benni Hemm Hemm creating one of their most hushed and intimate efforts to date. My favourite song is definitely the opener and title track, so you might [...]
This is called the Dolecast for... well, for obvious reasons. I am on the downward slope to imminent joblessness, with my last day at Proper Job now pencilled in for the 23rd of June - the day before Glastonbury, rather handily. Actually festivals are something of a feature this Summer, as there's that one, Kelburn, Rockness, Fusion out in Germany, and then Knockengorroch, which I will be driving out to the very second I hit 'post' on this. We're also looking at going out to Musicfest Northwest this year as well, and of course the rather splendid Fence [...]

The new music video for Benni Hemm Hemm's "Retaliate" by Michael Kirkham and Vivien McDermid is a picturesque animated story that accompanies acoustic guitar driven folk song. Though it's much sadder than what I've known of Benni Hemm Hemm, the animated music video and song go hand-in-hand.

Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes: Discover America "Force of a Proper Wind" from Future Paths (released 4/27) [ download ] [...]
Filed under: Video , Exclusive Although their live shows have been known to incorporate up to 35 performers at once, Icelandic indie pop collective Benni Hemm Hemm strips things down on 'Retaliate,' the title track from their just-released EP. Frontman Benedikt H. Hermannsson employed artists Michael Kirkham and Vivien McDermid to provide visual accompaniment to the hushed acoustic folk tune, with stunning results. Among the video's most striking aspects are the seamless transitions -- beginning with our first glimpse of a man floating down a black river, the viewer [...]
Never mind fucking jetpacks, SPRING is what I was fucking well promised. A few weeks ago I awoke to a pleasantly mild morning and strolled into work without ducking the head or turning up the collar and genuinely believed that Spring was on its way. It wasn't, of course, it was just Mother Nature fucking with my head. I remember last year the crocuses and snowdrops were out in January, it was that warm, whereas this year it is pretty much April and they are still not out in the shadier parts of the garden. A [...]
