In the mood for some wonderfully upbeat music magic? Something new from Iceland is coming, and it's being brought by Seabear's frontman Sindri Mar Sigfusson, called Sin Fang Bous and can really put a smile on your face. I haven't instantly fallen in love with something this good in a while. There is something to be said about the playful and simply lyrics and how the vocals instantly become another part of the instrumentation to the song (and when you do that on two vocal tracks to help build up the song even more?) Plus you have to love all the little sounds and noises that are added in many songs just for you're listening pleasure. This is also a great album for folk fans, and Sindri does a great job of mixing up folk with mellow electronic tempos.
This album has been out since December 5th, so if you get a chance head out and pick it up. In the meantime here is the video for one of their songs.
It's directed by Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, who also did the video for Mum's "They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded":
That vid makes me wanna break out the old colored pencil set.
Excellent choice for a first post, I must say.

I'm liking what I hear thus far. Now if I can only pronounce that god-damned name....hmmm.
