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...

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.
