Pick:

aYia
In UK English, bands are usually
referred to in the plural, as “they.”
But when it comes to aYia, “it” feels
more appropriate. aYia’s debut
single “Water Plant” is atmospheric
to the point of being intoxicating,
inviting the listener to “sink through
a hole, into a liquid wasteland.” The
rhythm stutters along at a relaxed,
languid pace, punctuated by synth
stabs and soft washes of sound,
circled gently by Ásta’s voice. It’s a
pleasingly sparing arrangement of
sound. Don't miss this. JR

Our Picks
37The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 08 — 2017

Fever Dream Video Release Party
Tues. 23 May,
19:00, LOFT Hostel
Discussing
everything from
rape to Bjarni
Ben to rap beefs,
Fever Dream’s (aka
Vigdís Ósk Howser,
formerly of Reykja-
víkurdætur) first
solo release is
bound to be talk-
ed-about. Called
“Reyndu Bara,”
which means
“Just Try,” the song
is the ultimate
cool-girl anthem.
Vigdís has always
been known for
her brash political
activism, unflinch-
ing feminist/vegan
convictions, and
her queen rhymes.
Standing out from
the pack in Reyk-
javíkurdætur and
wowing at her first
live performances
last month, Fever
Dream might just
be the rapper Ice-
land needs. BTW:
Make sure to take
a Paracetamol
beforehand, this
song is so hot
you’ll get a tem-
perature. HJC

Rammstein
Sat. 20 May,
20:00, Kórinn
Dust off your
black leather
trench coats
and oil your
biceps. They’re
coming… with
who knows what
props... HJC

Plútó
Sat. 20
May, 23:00,
Kaffibarinn
Plútó are the
foremost elec-
tronic music art
collective in Ice-
land—without
the pretentious-
ness. HJC

RAPPPORT at KEX Hostel
Sat. 20 May,
17:00, KEX Hostel,
Free!
Red Bull Music
Academy is
teaming up with
KEX for the first
annual RAPPPORT
festival. Roll up

see Iranian-born
SEVDALIZA along-
side Icelandic
rappers GKR,
Alvia, Forgotten
Lores, Cyber and
Sturla Atlas. JR

Midnight Sun Salsa Festival
25-28 May, 19:00,
Hilton Reykjavík
Whether you
know how to
salsa, bachata,
kizomba or don’t
even know what
those words
mean, come
learn some
basics and watch
some pros. With
workshops, per-
formances, and
lots of sparkly
dresses, there
is something
for everyone.
Cha cha cha! (Do
they say that in
salsa?) HJC
