This album went gold in Iceland. 40k in sales, which is like 10% of Iceland’s population.
For a country with population smaller than my hometown which is considered backwater by our standards, it’s remarkable that Iceland afaik had pretty good alternative culture: like the whole punk/new-wave scene, with entire festivals.
I’ve also heard it said, perhaps jokingly, that like half of Iceland’s population have written a book.
I wonder how many people skipped this because they don’t know who Björk Guðmundsdóttir is, as opposed to the famous singer Björk.
A_norny_mousseThe whole album was strangely (considering it’s mostly just an open-tuned acoustic guitar, no vocals) faceted and forceful and fascinating.
OMG! Seeing The Mountain Goats out in the wild is awesome! I’d upvote this 50 times if I could.
