This issue’s picker is none other than the ever-personable
Anton Kaldal Ágústsson, who is best known as the man behind
electronic outfit Tonik Ensemble (whose latest album ‘Snapshots’
got stellar reviews from the Grapevine and elsewhere). When
he’s not tweaking and perfecting some tune, Anton spends his
waking hours obsessed about design—he in fact works as a part-
time lecturer and graphic designer. When asked what interests
him about music or art events, he simply said ambition and
genuineness. If you missed his show earlier this month at Húrra
or Extreme Chill Festival, fret not, for he’ll be playing at
Iceland Airwaves this November.
You can find the events our picker of the issue found to be
interesting spread out over the following pages, marked with this

“George, why ain’t we goin’ down to Harpa?” Lennie looked down
at the ground in despair. “So you forgot that awready, did you?”
said George. “We ain’t got no money, Lennie.” The two walked
down Highway 1 with thumbs held up high, hoping to be picked
up by any fool headed toward Smokey Bay. “Aw dang George, I
wanted to see them fellas… those Icelandic kids who strum that
indie-folk-pop worldwide.” “Well ok Lennie, we can go, but you
ain’t gon’ do no bad things like you done back in Akureyri?” Lennie
shook his head. “Aw Lennie, if I ain’t have you I’d get on so well. I’d
get a girl, we’d get a lil house in Garðabær… Listen to
Of Monsters And Men awday…” HJC Photo by Dan Busta
