From local record store: "Experimental positive punk led by female vocalist; ex members of Iceland's Pur-Kurr Pillnick (unsure of spelling). -good-" And good it is indeed. Unusual stuff with strong (but not overly loud in mix) vocals & strong lyrics, usually delivered in "rap" with sentual feel, possibly because it's cold in Iceland. Music is experimental rock with a looney, tense, almost circus-like atmosphere. --John
