Countess Malaise, Iceland’s pre-
mier horror rap goddess, welcomes
you all to her castle of turnt dark-
ness with this playlist of her favou-
rite Icelandic songs. You know, the
formative tracks that instilled in
her the horror she has since un-
leashed on the world.
Páll Óskar - Stanslaust Stuð
This song is a disco classic. It
speaks for itself. Pure fun and to-
tally queer.
Þeyr - Killer Boogie
Þeyr is the sexiest band Iceland has
ever birthed, to be honest. I chose
this song because it is hella vibes
and it sounds like how I feel in a
leather jacket.
DYS - Ísland Brennur
Damn, ‘Ísland Brennur’ takes me
back to my teenage years, when go-
ing to small punk/metal shows was
the highpoint of my week, Hljóma-
lind was still up and running, and
Reykjavík was still raw.
Björk - Hidden Place
One of my maaaany fave Björk
songs. I honestly feel like this song
is about my boyfriend, Þórður, and
I.
Bubbi - ‘Stúlkan sem starir
á hafið’
My father is ancient and he spoke
a different language. I guess that’s
what happens when you are born
in 1934 and raised in a town with a
population of 200 people. This song
was one of our mutual favourites
and I would sing it to him some-
times. It’s a sad song about a girl
that is isolated from everyone in
a small town because she lost her
lover to the ocean and the only
thing she does is stare at the sea
and think of him.
Kælan Mikla - Nornalagið
Kælan Mikla is the best band in
Iceland. I am a goth bitch and their
music is pure goth. I dunno…they
are just so fucking cool. Go Kælan
Mikla, ily.
Björk - Vökuró
Another of many fave Björk songs. I
just love all the elements to it. I can
feel it, I can see it, and I love singing
along to it. I used to walk in the rain
by the sea listening to this on my
iPod and sing to the ocean on the
regular. Not even kidding.
PSYCHOPL ASMICS - 101
Reykjavík
I think this is one of the best songs
ever made. It’s loaded with personal
memories and 2 of my best friends,
Alli and Þórður, made this song.
The video was shot on my birthday
on a VHS a few years back, and I ac-
tually shot a lot of the scenes – hehe.
It’s so damn goooood.
Slim Poppins - Ice Cold
A new song produced by the one and
only g.o.a.t. LORD PUSSWHIP. Slim
Poppins is somebody to look out
for. She’s on the come up and she is
cold…ice cold.
