Click here to read my review of this amazing album . Now, that summer is always over, BSÍ grant us with a new video for the song 'My Knee against Kyriarchy' which is featured on the record's B-Side "But alway antifascist" (" e n alltaf andfasisk"). The song is a feminist battlecry against kyriarchy. The term kyriarchy was coined by feminst theorist Elisabeth Schüssler  and means a wider definition of patriarchy: hence, kyrarchy means a hegemonial state that combines oppressive stuctures such as sexism, hompohobia, transphobia, antisemitism, ableism, racism, and mo...

Plötuútgáfa Format: Vinyl / Digital Length: 36:26 Genre: Lofi Indie Cute Pop Punk Origin:  Reykjavík ,  Iceland Here it is, the debut album bby Sigurlaug Thorarensen  and Julius Pollux Rothlaender . Together they are Brussels Sprout Intl., or short: BSÍ - apparently the most desolate place in their hometown Reykjavík. One can argue whether, this release is an LP or a double-EP since it consists of the two sides "Sometimes depressed" (or: "Stundum Þunglynd" in Icelandic) and "But always antifascist" ("En alltaf andfasisk"). Each side of the album has its unique sound, theme, and style. As a side-note, when I was younger, I had a leather jacket on which I wrote the words "Sometimes antisocial, but alw...

Picture Credit: Dead Bird Lady Artwork: Claire Paugam Dead Bird Lady - February Release Date: February 08, 2021 Length: 03:06 Genre: Indie Folk Origin: Paris , France /  Reykjavík , Iceland It is quite a long way from Iceland to France. Singer and songwriter Dead Bird Lady calls both capitals, Paris and Reykjavík her home. The cultural influences of two places in Europe that are very different to each other have left soft but succint traces in the music by Dead Bird Lady. Her first single "February" is an emotional Indie Folk ride on the everlasting power of the sea. The rhythms move like soft and yet steady oceanix waves. The colourful music merges thebouyant lightfootedness of French chansons with the atmospheric air of Icelandic skaldic. Dead Bird Lady's music feels like the strong link where human emotions, natural force, and magic are connected. Despite the slight melancholia the song contains, "February" is a gorgeous feel-good air that raises the anticpi...

BSÍ stands for Brussels Sprout Intl, and it might be one of the most depressing spaces in Iceland's capital Reykjavík. Sigurlaug  and Julius  have thus decided to call their Shoegaze / Ambient / Post Punk band BSÍ. The band calls their music LoFi Indie Cute Pop Punk. BSÍ have recently announced that their new album "Sometimes depressed... but alway antifascist" will be released on 21 May, 2021 via Tomatenplatten. As a little teaser, they have released two ex ante singles today. "Dónakallalagið" (Icelandic: "The rude Song"; video above) is a crunchy and intense Post Punk banger. "25Lue" (video below) instead shows the melancholic Ambient by BSÍ. Content from the  MangoNews  will always stay in the  MangoRotation  playlist for 14 days.
