Reykjavík Grapevine - 26.09.2014, Síða 27

We are thrilled to announce that Straumur will host its
own Iceland Airwaves off-venue programme at Bíó
Paradís, November 5-9. We will have many of our favou-
rite artists perform, including lo-fi indie duo Nolo, who
are currently working on their third LP; the ever-so-tal-
ented M-band, who released his first album this year;
and the hazy newcomer Pretty Please. We are currently
in negotiations with other mind-bending acts and we’ll let
you know when the results are in.

In other news, standard bearers of
the domestic disco scene Boogie
Trouble just released a new single
from their forthcoming and as-yet
unnamed debut album. It’s called
“Augnablik” (“Blink of an Eye”), and
it’s one of the grooviest sonic entities
to emerge from this year. “Augnablik”
bears many hallmarks of Icelandic
pop music from the 70s, and blends
a grinding bass thump with chicken
scratch guitars and a chorus that at-
taches itself to your brain like duck
tape smeared with superglue. The
lead guitar soars and at one point
the song explodes into a sensational
saxophone solo. Boogie Trouble will
be playing Iceland Airwaves and we
anticipate great things from their up-
coming album.
This week we also got the great
news that exceptional American in-
die band Sun Kil Moon will be head-
ing to our shores to play a show at
Fríkirkjan on November 28. Singer
Mark Kozelek founded Sun Kil Moon
in 2002 out of the remains of defunct
indie band Red House Painters. The
band established itself with the criti-
cally acclaimed ‘Ghosts of the Great
Highway’ in 2003 and has since re-
leased six albums and collaborated
with artists such as Will Oldham and
Ben Gibbard. Their latest release,
'Benji,' has received universal ac-
claim for Kozelek’s personal and con-
fessional lyrics and impeccable folk-
rock songcraft evident in astounding
songs like “Ben’s My Friend.”
Don’t forget to come enjoy our
off-venue programme at downtown
Reykjavík’s arthouse cinema. The
concerts will be free and we would
love to see you there. In the words
of the Ramones, “We want the Air-
waves."
Straumur has been active since the
summer 2012, with writers Óli Dóri
