Reykjavik pop-rock duo Feldberg , the newest addition to Iceland's enviable canon of internationally acclaimed acts and the latest signings to Smalltown America's blossoming, eclectic roster, tell us all about themselves ahead of their Irish shows... Who are you and where are you from? We are Einar Tönsberg and Rósa Birgitta Ísfeld and we´re from Iceland. Who are your favorite artists from home? Sing Fang Bous, Sykurmolarnir, Ólöf Arnalds. What's it really like touring? Smelly and sweaty. What's your favourite city/town/venue to play? [...]
It's the night before the royal wedding, London is awash with bunting and the subjects of our little island are hurtling themselves into four day weekend reverie. I decide I need a little respite from the patriotism and head to the Ja Ja Ja night for some Icelandic indie pop instead, in the shape of Feldberg. The Reykjavik natives are comprised of multi-instrumentalist Einar Tönsberg (aka Eberg) and vocalist Rósa Birgitta Ísfeld, tonight their crisp pop sound is bolstered by a very smiley drummer and they're the middle band at the monthly Nordic music night.

Feldberg are the icelandic duo Einar Tönsberg and Rósa Birgitta Ísfeld. Together they make dreamy pop music mixed up with electronic, acoustic and folk elements. The stand out track 'Dreamin' from their 2009 debut album 'Don't Be A Stranger' is a perfect example for that. I think it is a wonderful song for this season right know! Feldberg doesn't have an official video for that song, oder maybe I didn't found one, but a guy called Thom Coffey made a good one! So take a look outside the winter countryside and start dreamin...

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 [...]
Chegado a Wroclaw, tempo ainda para postar mais um vídeozito, este um tema que me parece *muito* familiar (não sei onde já ouvi isto) e não me sai da cabeça. "Dreamin'", uma espécie de blues com (muita) alma, via duo islandês Feldberg. Uma combinação de electrónica, acústico, folk, percussão, mas sempre muito pop-delight. Este tema apareceu na Compilação da Kitsuné #9 e é uma delícia. Tal como

I have been listening to a good deal of softer, quieter and more laid back electronic tunes over the last few months, which has meant this mixtape slowly building and evolving since last December. So some of these tracks are brand new, whilst others are some of my favourites from the end of 2009 - it has been my most played playlist though so I though it was about time I shared. The mixtape opens up with Television Keeps Us Apart , who are a Swedish band who just make some of the most beautifully layered and [...]
Here's a delightful little tune from the up-and-coming Icelandic duo Feldberg. The Dreamin' single is set to release August 30th along with a ten track album of remixes on the same date. Can't wait to hear what else they've got for us! Artist: Feldberg Song: "Dreamin'"

Icelandic duo Feldberg who was recently featured on the influential Kitsune Compilation #9 has been quickly signed by the label and are getting ready to release first single "Dreamin" August 30th . It's a beautiful, breezy summertime indie pop tune. Really loving it and their great back and forth male/female vocals! You can sample the track on their Soundcloud below. Dreamin´ (Album Version) by theqeco In addition to the track they have this equally [...]
We've talked a lot about Kyte before at O!IW and even had them play at one of our shows at Madame Jojo's one very cold evening in January. They're awesome and their most recent album 'Dead Waves' is something you should own. Kyte are also pretty skilled at remixing (more remixes here ) and have recently busied themselves remixing a track called 'Dreamin' by Kitsune's latest Icelandic signing Feldberg . It's seriously gorgeous dream pop about, er, dreaming. Lovely. [...]

The midsummer festivities are near and some of the MAP bloggers are already enjoying a well-deserved summer vacation, so this month's MAP edition shrinks to 28 songs and countries. Still it is a very enjoyable selection of the best music around the globe, so while you pack your swimming suit and sunglasses, listen to what [...]
Llega la mitad de Junio, y con ello una nueva edición del Music Alliance Pact (MAP), la red musical formada por más de 30 blogs que (casi) todos los días 15 nos trae sus reportes desde los rincones del mundo. Este mes celebramos el regreso triunfal de The Pop Cop , blog pionero en esta iniciativa y que el mes pasado sufrió su bajada por parte de Google. ¡Bienvenidos de vuelta! La edición actual coincidió felizmente con el lanzamiento oficial de Historial de Caídas, el nuevo disco de El Sueño De La [...]
sorry everyone for the late posting of this month's MAP , the monthly offering by bloggers from all over the world introducing the music from their respective countries. as always, we have our local music ambassador brian koh anchoring this segment, with his song recommendation of the month from the mysterious elsa x . SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Elsa X - Baby Steps On [...]

Pensaba escribir algo épico para esta nueva entrega de MAP , con todo y eso de que los blogs musicales siguen cayendo como moscas, pero doy asco con el drama, además en esta ocasión no me sirve la protesta ya que hay algo que celebrar y eso es el regreso de The Pop Cop , Jason lo ha conseguido, ha logrado recuperar sus archivos y ahora está de vuelta , felicitaciones a nuestro amigo escocés. Este mes SoTB no propone nada nuevo, más bien, hace un alto para recordar a una de las mejores bandas [...]

Here is this month's Music Alliance Pact, which somehow managed to be the only regular feature on The Pop Cop which wasn't a casualty of Googlegate . If you're a new reader, here's how it works: each MAP blog picks a song from their own country which is then made available as a free mp3 download on all of our individual blogs. Since MAP's inception in October 2008, it has been my job to take charge of the organising, editing and diplomacy, but because of youknowwhat, my colleagues in Romania, Babylon Noise , took [...]

Popop

Tuleb taas tõdeda, et Apelsin ei valetanudki ja aeg tõesti ei peatu. Alles ju oli viieteistkümnes kuupäev aga täna on jälle. MAPimaailm kihises vahepeal hoopis muusikakaugematel teemadel kui muidu - nimelt otsustas Google vahepeal MAPi algataja ja eestvedaja The Pop Copi kinni panna. Nüüd on see uues kohas jälle lahti. Eesti poolt panin seekord välja tõeliselt lärmaka vene juurtega rock'n'rolli. Läksime. EESTI : Popop Junk Riot [...]

This is the sumer mixtape for this year. It's all nice time indie music, I stripped out the more "hardcore" moments of the mixtape due to bandwidth issues (yay for bandwidth crushing my creative freedom). It's all been realeased in 2010, so you can feel like the coolest kid on the block. It starts off with the faster stuff, then we go poppy with Corinne Bailey Rae and Jack Johnson, a bit funky with Breakbot and finally, we slow it down to "very slow" with Beach House and She & Him. I hope you like it! [...]
