Melting away the permafrost and bubbling up from the isle of The Sugarcubes and Björk, Iceland has birthed yet another ground breaking alternative group. Gus Gus is a collective of Icelandic artists, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, actors and more. Taking their influences from hip hop, funk, electro and house, Gus Gus’ natural flair for storytelling and melody finds them re-routing these elements to create their own highly individualistic style of Arctic Circle soul. The current album is called This Is Normal. If you’re feeling uninspired by what 1999 has had to offer so far, you probably haven’t listened to this album yet. This Is Normal is anything but. The supersonic, techno-smooth jammings of Gus Gus leave soaring space for the imagination but little to tempt audio boredom
