GusGus & FM Belfast Rise Above The Rest
TWIN PEAKS
FM Belfast just released an awesome new record that's already being hailed as one of the year's best. As did GusGus. Listening to their
awesome new records one must conclude that they surely are some sort of 'Twin Peaks' of Icelandic electronic music. One might even ask
them to dress for the occasion... Starring Árni Rúnar as 'The Giant', Lóa Hlín as 'The Log Lady', Earth as 'Nadine Hurley', Högni Egilsson as
'Bob', President Bongo as 'The Ghost of Bob', Árni Vilhjálmsson as 'Sheriff Harry S. Truman', Veiran as 'Special Agent Dale Cooper', Örvar Þ.S.
as 'Laura Palmer' and introducing Daníel Ágúst as 'The Man From Another Place'. Page 20
