Welcome to 66 Degrees of Sound by The Reykjavík Grapevine, where Grapevine journalists Rex Beckett and Jóhannes Bjarkason discuss the latest Icelandic music releases. Your one-stop shop for brand new Icelandic music, join us every Friday for the weekly roundup.
This time, Rex is off for a holiday so Jói is joined by Bjarni Daníel of indie band Supersport! fame. We find out about Supersport's forthcoming releases (which total a whopping two records this year) and their recent controversial label signing. We catch up with Sigga Ózk and Bassi Maraj, check out Reykjavík's newest super-group Píla, chat with Kolbrún Óskarsdóttir of Kusk, and stan denim-rockers Spacestation.
During the time of recording, an earthquake shook the recording studio. Tune in for modest reactions.
Episode tracklist:
Sigga Ózk ft. Bassi Maraj— Sjáðu Mig (released June 23)
Píla — Nobody (released June 29)
KUSK — Áttir Allt (released July 7)
