Reykjavík Grapevine - feb. 2021, Blaðsíða 15

CeaseTone
Hafsteinn #ráinsson, also known as
CeaseTone, creates the type of cin-
ematic indie music that just makes
you feel all the feelings at once. He
is also—and pardon our French—a
damn good singer. CeaseTone just
dropped a new track, “Continents,”
which you absolutely must check
out (a"er reading the Grapevine,
of course). Here’s his perfect day in
the city.
First thing in the morning
My perfect day has a lot to do with
all the right pieces coming together.
I’d first wake up as early as possible
and do some work from home until
11:00. Then I’d bike to Seltjarneslaug.
I live in Vesturbær, by the ocean, so
I’d bike to the ocean first and then
head to the pool. I don’t have a car,
I bike everywhere all year round. But
I’d go to the pool and gym between
11:00 to 12:30.
Mid-day
My studio is in Grandi so I’d bike there
after, but I’d stop at The Coocoo’s
Nest on the way. That’s my hang-
out in Grandi. I know a lot of people
who work there and it just has the
best vibe and the best food. I’d get
brunch there if they would serve
brunch every day, but right now it’s
only on Sundays. So, on my Perfect
Day, they’d be selling brunch every
day.
I’d get to the studio around 13:00.
When I’m working, I prefer to mix a
whole track or write a whole song—
something complete. I’d try to finish
around 17:00 or 18:00. In reality, I’d
probably be done way later but this
is my Perfect Day, so let’s say 18:00.
Evening
Next I’d head for dinner at Hi Noodle.
Ramen is my favourite thing in the
world.
A"er that, I’d meet up with some
friends at Skúli Craft Bar because
they have a dart board and nice
beer. So I’d have some nice beer,
engage in deep conversation with
some friends, and throw some darts.
In the heat of the night
If there wasn’t COVID, I’d just see
where the night would take me a"er
that. Maybe I’d go to the old Húrra
(RIP)—on my Perfect Day, it’d still be
open. But let’s just say there’s some
new music venue opening up and I
go and see some amazing local acts
that I’ve never seen before. Some-
thing new and undiscovered. In such
a small place, that’s always the most
fun night.
Perfect Day
Dance, jive & have the time of your life
