Tónlistarkonan Kría Brekkan heldur tónleika í Norræna húsinu mánudagskvöldið 27. september kl. 22, en tónleikarnir eru hluti af dagskrá RIFF, Alþjóðlegrar kvikmyndahátíðar í Reykjavík. Á tónleikunum mun Kría flytja frumsamda tónlist undir kvikmyndinni The Fall of the House of Usher eftir Jean Epstein, en myndin er frá árinu 1928 og er byggð á sögu eftir Edgar Allan Poe. Kría heitir réttu nafni Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir , en hún gerði garðinn frægan með hljómsveitinni múm um langt skeið. Hún hefur þó unnið með mörgum öðrum sveitum, svo sem Stórsveit Nix Noltes , [...]

You know her. You've heard her voice. You've been mesmerized. If not, well shit man, c'mon, get into it.. With a voice like some kind of fairy princess that you'd find deep floating haphazardly around some Icelandic glacier, Kría Brekkan emits gossamer webbing that captures you immediately. The music is delicate and intricate, but also loose, tender, and raw. It's not some overproduced trip-hop, electronic free-for-all. Her music is strung to the earth with think, winding roots. It's organic, s...

We are so excited about this show. Kria Brekkan (former lead singer of Mum) and Drawlings will be coming to McWorld on March 24th. Drawlings is the sister of Avey Tare 's Animal Collective and the family blood runs deep as her musicbox-tickertoy music has the same hauntingly beautiful quality. Kria Brekkan has the ability to pull you deep down inside the earth and open up your soul. Her music hits a note with me that goes straight into me. It is uncomfortable but leaves me longing for more. This is going to [...]

Il me semble qu'en cette période atroce de grippe qui me cloue au lit, il n'y avait rien de plus reposant que la ballade en apnée dans le liquide amniotique de Kría Brekkan . Ok, vu comme ça, ça a l'air dégueulasse, mais on pense plutôt à l'image fœtale, cette sensation de flottement et de bien être au milieu de particules vivantes qui dansent comme des étoiles autour de notre petit corps recroquevillé. Merveilleux nouvel EP totalement expérimental pour la gracile islandaise, qui s'affranchit une fois de plus de Múm pour une escapade solo, et se réfugie sur le [...]

As usual Kria Brekkan conjures the haunting from her serene surroundings, making lullabies feel like last gasps and creaking pianos feel like whispering ghosts. Kria Brekkan – Uterus Water 7" The title of Brekkan's latest single is nothing if not evocative, and though she claims the track to be a lullaby crafted while on sickbed it sounds more like an ultrasound orchestra washing slowly through time and consciousness. She follows this murky symphony with the sweet but eerie [...]

Wife of Animal Collective's Avey Tare, Kria Brekkan recently released her newest EP, Uterus Water , and it's a strange, murky trip. Easily at home next to contemporaries like Tickley Feather , but also vaguely reminiscent of artists like Mark Hollis (formely of Talk Talk), silence is just another instrument in their arsenal. It's hard to top Kria's own cryptic explanation of her journey to creating the EP: Early this year I was sick for weeks coughing bad air out of my lungs cause of all [...]
It's been a while since I listened to a new Elvis Costello record, but after only a couple of listens I'm pretty glad I chose Momofuku to come back to. This is classic Costello, excellent song writing, brilliant pop sensibility, and absolutely precise music. It's a perfect record really, though maybe a little too perfect. Perhaps he could have scuzzed it up a bit, but then that's never been
kria brekkan in a tree. in her underwear. Wildering is the vinyl-only 7" solo debut of former múm siren Kria Brekkan . Last year's collaboration with husband Avey Tare was met with decidedly mixed reviews, and I have a feeling this one will elicit similar feelings. To call the bizarre and spooky title track "lo-fi" would be a huge understatement; it sounds like Kria utilized the same recording techniques they were using in 1860 , only underwater. Still, there's [...]
