Icelandic duo Feldberg was formed in January 2009 Feldberg by Eberg , a well known musician in Iceland and Europe, and Rósa Birgitta Ísfeld. Eberg had been working on some syncs and was looking for a female vocalist. Rósa, who had been working with Icelandic pop band Sometime, came highly recommended by a friend and the pair started working together straight away. One of their tracks was soon featured in an ad for the Nova Telecom Company and demand for a release was such that they were quickly contacted by Cod Music, who offered [...]

Eberg is a young Icelandic musician who made his debut in 2003. With his electronica-meets-indie rock sound, Eberg quickly made a name for himself. His first album, Plastic Lion , was originally a limited edition Iceland-only release, with 50 CDs packaged in handmade wooden cases. The profits raised from the sale of these 50 first exclusive copies allowed the band to make more CDs, with a more conventional packaging this time. Plastic Lion was then distributed by Bad Taste in Iceland by Rotator [...]

Twennyten's first irresistible slice of pop arrives from Iceland, courtesy of Feldberg . Einar and Rosa joined their surnames for this project and then got down to business. It has that great dreamy pop quality: hooks all over that interlock and play off each other like it's been that way since the beginning of time. The lead guitars belong on the beach with Chris Izaaks , the acoustic is probably in the hotel room, the backing woo-oohs might as well be waves crashing in against a rhythm section so perfectly crisp I can barely contain [...]

Einar Tönsberg, conocido artísticamente como Eberg es un músico y compositor Islandés que ha conseguido muy buenas críticas con sus dos discos publicados hasta la fecha, especialmente en el Reino Unido. Virtuoso del laptop y el Do It Yourself, no necesita de grandes medios para deleitarnos con pequeñas joyas de pop minimalista que ya han aparecido en series cómo OC y Veronica Mars, además de en un anuncio de Iphone. Antidote, su tercer trabajo, acaba de ser públicado en Japón y todavia no hay fecha para su lanzamiento en Europa. "One Step At The [...]

Here's my deep thought for the week. Can you miss what you never had? Better yet, can you miss what you don't even know you're missing? I've come to the conclusion that yes, you can. At the very least, you can miss what you thought it would have been like, or what you imagined it would bring you, or what you hoped it would take away. You can also know that there's a hole in you where something ought to be, even if you don't know what that something is. [...]
Dedicated to anyone out there who's still in love despite the recent passing of Valentine's Day. Eberg is an Icelandic electronic kid based in London. He's received some UK airplay and has an album called 'Voff Voff' (I'm sure your local HMV counter assistant will be very helpful) from which this golden number has been taken. Eberg manages to talk in romantic terms about a beautiful part of the

You'd expect someone who hand-crafted 50 wooden cases for the first run of his debut album to be detail-oriented, but the Icelandic laptop-pop whiz Eberg makes music that's downright fussy; we came across "Inside Your Head" at to die by your side , and we loved the way that its delicate bells and hums were meticulously put together, which turned out to be surprisingly soothing to our too-frazzled ears. Eberg - Inside Your Head [MP3, via to die by your side ] Eberg [MySpace]

Anyone want to hear a beautiful song? Seriously, this is just gorgeous. But it doesn't know it. Or flaunt it. It just goes about it's business unaware that you're listening. Unaware that it's captured your heart. It's mysterious whispers prick your ears. You stretch to catch it. And while you may touch it, it'll never be yours. And it's relaxing. Like a good massage. Like calming waves. It's all soft. And gentle. And shimmery. You can hear some other not so good songs over at Eberg's MySpace or over [...]

Una de mis canciones preferidas del año pasado fue Plastic Lions de Eberg (de su primer disco del mismo nombre). Una mezcla de música electronica y acústica con voces a veces etereales (salvo en muy pocas canciones, las voces son las de Eberg, retocadas o no). Hace poco salió su último disco, Voff voff ("voff" es como ladran los perros islandeses), y es aún mejor que el disco anterior. Esta vez la música es más acústica y menos electronica. En serio, recomiendo que lo compreÃs, si os gusta folkpopindietronica (algo asÃ...) de alta [...]

ReykjavÃk, Iceland Oh Icelandic electronic pop! Eberg is Einar Tonsberg, and his music is wonderfully weird. “Love Your Bum†is track #1 on his latest disc, Voff Voff . Have you heard a better song title today? I think not. If you can come up with something better, please let me know. Sadly, Eberg’s CDs are UK imports only right now. Or you can get it through iTunes if that’s your thing. "Inside Your Head" [...]
A small country with only 290.570 inhabitants, - known for geysirs, vikings and norse-sagas, but also for delivering clever, experimental popmusic to the major labels. Iceland has more to offer than Björk, Múm and Sigur Ros, - elfs and geysirs. Smekkleysa (means "tasteless" or "bad taste" in english) is a movement that started in 1986 in Iceland by a group of young artists and musicians. Some
