Being sick is terrible. I've been fighting something nasty since Tuesday. Luckily the worst was out of the way fast - after recording a 101 degree temperature Tuesday night, the fever subsided and I've slowly returned to a state that's manageable. I was still a bit stuffed up on the 25th, but by 10pm all that was left was sniffling and the occasional cough - my regular voice was back. On November 25, I decided to do something a little different. Not only would I tell a few stories about [...]

Ein kurioses Klangkino, welches Musik auf das Nötigste reduziert: Klavier, Mädchen und Talent. Islandtypischer Elfenalarm auf dem Solodebüt von Sóley Stefánsdóttir: Der erste Alleingang entwirft mit reduzierten Klängen und zerbrechlichen Gesang eine mystisch-frostige Klangkullise. Bereits das erste Lied "I`ll Drown" vermischt Traum mit Sein und kratzt an der Realität. Fast schüchtern trägt Sóley ihre Lieder vor. Ganz ohne Seabear-Tumult dominiert auf ihrem Debüt "We sink" Klavier, fragile Beats und eine zauberhafte Stimme. Sóley: I'll Drown [...]
Happy Wednesday kids! Today we've got a tune for you from Icelandic artist Sóley , who some of you may recognize from indie veteran bands Sin Fang and Seabear . This is the first solo record from the typically quiet singer songwriter and a taste of her progressive style can be found below. The new song "I'll Drown", appears on debut LP We Sink out October 4th on Morr Music . Interested parties should also check out an intimate video of Sóley performing new song "The Sun is Going Down (pt. 2)" [...]
There's more to Iceland than Sigur Ros, massive volcanos that ruin people's holidays, nice sweaters, Bjork and crap banking. For one thing they've got loads of whales in their oceans and for another, they have a thriving music scene. Like all music scenes though, some of it is unlistenable noise but a few artists like Sin Fang stand out as one of the country's leading pop exports. Primarily as the unmistakeable voice of the amazing Sea Bear , but also under his own name on his solo records. His work sounds an awful lot [...]
Sóley , a member of the Icelandic troupe Seabear, is prepared to drop her sophomore release, We Sink , October 4 on Morr Music . A keyboardist and backup vocalist by trade, first thoughts on her solo project is that she was made for the spotlight. "I'll Drown" is the first track we've heard from the forthcoming LP and it joins the experimental pop sounds of Seabear and Sin Fang with the unique, quite spirited vocals of Sóley Stefánsdóttir. Intricate and intimate, [...]
These mixes were posted in January and February 2010, the winter of our discontent. Seriously, the blog was on life support during this time. We're through that storm now. 2010 was such a great year for music, and these early mixes show why. Many of the tracks were available in late 2009, but appeared on 2010 releases. Tracks are from late October through late November 2009 Gapless mix ripped at 256k VBR. Download all tracks in one zip file [...]
Seabear – Hands Remember Was wäre Indie ohne Bären? Richtig, bärenlos! Zu viel Gutes kommt vom Bär, als dass man darauf als Indie-Fan einfach so verzichten könnte. Grizzly Bear, Seabear, Minus the Bear. Bärenmusik ist gute Musik – und kommt lustigerweise oft nicht brummig, sondern viel eher poppig und flauschig rüber (ganz so wie obiges Video). Der Seabear ist übrigens kein echter Bär – lediglich im Spongebob-Wiki findet sich ein solches Tier . Doch was haben Peter, Bjorn and John damit zu tun? Die Schwedische Band, welche 2006 [...]

"Two Boys" by Sin Fang , off his sophomore album Summer Echoes ( available now on Morr Music). Sin Fang is Iceland's Sindri Már Sigfússon (of Seabear). Directed by Jónsi's sister Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, the "off-kilter video contains unique visuals that accompany the unusual, slightly unsettling and beautiful world Sin Fang has created and is known for".

Summer is quickly approaching. What do you do in the summer? You go the beach. What is at the beach? The sea! Seabear - "I Sing I Swim" Seapony - "Blue Star" The Sea and Cake - "Up On The North Shore" White Sea - "Mountaineer" — Melon
Sindri Már Sigfússon is part of Seabear but has taken time to develop his side project Sin Fang (formerly Sin Fang Bous). You can hear the Icelandic influences that people fall for woven through this new album Summer Echos. It has that delicate beauty to it but also feels a little more forceful and alive than Seabear's 2010 dreamy album, We Built a Fire . The moments of experimentation on this album remain accessible without ever breaking the momentum. It's bound to be one of April's best albums, due out on April [...]

Sindri Már Sigfússon is on a roll. In 2009, his Clangour under Sin Fang (then Sin Fang Bous) received a top 10 place. 2010 saw his full Icelandic group, Seabear, crack the top 5 with We Built A Fire . Sindri is back with his follow up to Clangour . The album is called Summer Echoes and it drops March 15 thanks to Morr Music . As his projects go, the video for "Because Of The Blood" includes psychedelic [...]
Last year, the comments sections of my videos were lightly peppered with suggestions of the latest Seabear album, We Built a Fire . Sorry dudes and dudettes. I guess I was busy or something. Just didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Well, the band's frontman, Sindri Már Sigfússon, has a solo project called Sin Fang. It used to be that this solo effort was much quieter and electronic than Seabear, but it seems that the exact opposite is happening. From what I'm hearing on Sin Fang's latest single, "Always [...]

Seabear's Sindri Már Sigfússon is giving away new track, Always Everything, as a free download and it's the first to be taken from his new album Sin Fang - Always Everything is an article from: Addict Music
Back from holidays! Now returning to your regularly scheduled programming. One of the best moments of my 2009 was having Robyn pull me out of my feverish, mid-October haze and drag me to the Pyramid Cabaret, where I got to experience, hands down, one of the best live performances I have seen to this day. I don't exactly recall what clicked in me, but Iceland's Sin Fang Bous (solo project of Seabear's Sindri Már Sigfússon)'s brand of hazy bedroom pop left me, and the rest of the audience, exhilarated and electrified. Since then, there [...]
Sin Fang , aka Seabear's Sindri Már Sigfusson, is creeping ever-closer to the March release of Summer Echoes , his fourth album (including two with Seabear) since 2007, and the second officially Sin Fang release. You might want to grab onto something heavy, because if lead single Always Everything is a true barometer of the rest of Summer Echoes , this could be a wild ride.
