One of the reasons I've wanted to
come to Iceland for the last five or six
years was because we did a tour with
Mugison in Japan in 2005. We had
such an awesome time. His music is
so great. Ever since then, I've followed
Icelandic music.
We interview Caribou’s Dan Snaith, who’s

My daughter turned 18-years old
on April 29. I had told her that we
would finally get the chance to meet.
I haven’t seen her since she was
eleven”, Medhi explains to me, as we

he is being detained while his case
is examined. “I had been promised a
positive answer in January, but then,
as always, months went by and the
phone never rang”.
We interview Iranian asylum seeker Medhi
Kavyanpoor, who threatened to set him-
self on fire out of desperation.
