19The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 08— 2020Our Picks
October 9th—November 5th
Jónsi has finally dropped
his long-awaited new al-
bum ‘Shiver’. The ethereal
release features collaborations with
dreamy chanteuse Elizabeth Fraser as
well as pop icon Robyn. This is Jónsi’s
first solo album in a decade. “‘Shiver’
plumbs the depths of the human
experience and our connection to
the natural world,” reads a statement
to the press. “It pits the organic and
dreamlike qualities of Jónsi against
A. G. Cook’s synthetic, sometimes
abrasive, and avant-garde experimen-
talism. On paper, their collaboration is
surprising, but Shiver only continues
Jónsi’s quest to push the boundaries
of not just what we consider art, but
how we experience it.” Keep pushing,
Jónsi. HJC
Ya fav nature boi David Attenborough
finally spilt the beans on what it was
like working with ya fav elf girl Björk
back in the early 2010s, calling her “a
very original person” with “strange
music but [very] original music.” In
an interview with NME about David’s
new Netflix documentary ‘A Life On Our
Planet’, ya boi praised ya girl’s intellect
and kindness. “She’s very up to the
mark and very concerned with the re-
lationship between human beings and
the natural world,” D-money explained.
“I don’t know whether that’s a promi-
nent characteristic of the Icelandic
character, but I suspect, having been
in Iceland, she has a relationship with
the natural world which some of us ur-
ban dwellers of the South don’t have.”
It’s definitely part of the Icelandic
character, A-man. That’s why Icelandic
politicians keep campaigning to dam
up all the rivers, obvs. HJC
Da"i Freyr. Remember him? That giant,
skinny legend who sings like a soulful
Frank Sinatra? Well it appears that
Iceland loves him so much that they
are seriously considering not even
having a competition of who to send to
Eurovision 2021, and are, as rumours
state, seriously considering sending
Da"i straight for that trophy. (There’s
a trophy in Eurovision, right?) Anyway,
the Icelandic national broadcast (RÚV)
said in an interview with Vísir.is that
they were considering that possibility
but that no decision has been made
yet. Of course, Da"i would be a great
bet. He kind of won the last competi-
tion... which was cancelled due to
COVID. Yeah...that’s how we win things
now. VG

We don’t know what Halloween will
bring this year. We don’t even know
if there will be a Halloween! So what
do we know? Well, flowers can be
blood-thirsty and horror musicals
can be fun. If only the plant had been
wearing a mask. Checkmate, death.

ÆVI
Oct. 13th & 21st - 20:30 - Borgarleikhúsi" - 1,900-
2,900 ISK
A solo dance
show means that
choreographer and
dancer Inga Maren
Rúnarsdóttir’s new
piece ‘ÆVI’ is COVID-safe
for the production
team and as audience
members are sitting
seats away from each
other, safe for them, too!
Meaning ‘lifetime,’ ‘ÆVI’
is a one-hour journey
through the life-cycle
of a human—from birth
to childhood to teenage
years, adulthood and
death. Adda soundtrack
by Ólafur Arnalds and
a set and costume
by Júlíanna Lára
Steingrímsdóttir, and
you’ve got a decadent
performance that’ll
make you cherish your
own ÆVI all the more.
Note: Relish in the part
where Inga dances in
complete silence. Also,
make sure your phone is
on silent. Eeek. HJC
