Icelandic Imports

From the experimental dance-pop of Björk in the '90s to the glacial psychedelia of Sigur Rós in the '00s to the stomp-along anthems peddled by Of Monsters and Men in the '10s, Icelandic artists have always been at the forefront of the latest developments in alternative rock. But those internationally recognized names are but the surface mist on a deep, hot spring of talent that encompasses the folk-rock serenity of Seabear, the glitchy soundscapes of múm, and the gonzo gospel theatrics of Mugison.
