pornopop
drone/pop/indie Youd be hard pressed to casually find much information about
pornopop, but if you dig a little deeper its there; an Icelandic duo made up of brothers
gust and
Pétur Einarsson, formed way back in 1996 in their parents basement, who took no time in hitting a number of studios in Reykjavik to record their debut album
Blue an album aesthetically informed by the pairs night recording, day sleeping and Icelandic surroundings. They played a number of gigs with
Sigur Ros, then disappeared. They reappeared in 2006 with their sophomore effort
...and the slow songs about the dead calm in your arms before disappearing again. Six years later the duo return, this time as a trio now including
Hallgrímur Jón Hallgrímsson to unveil the two track album
Two Lazy Tigers. The music pornopop make fits intrinsically with their elusiveness and their night time work ethic, summoning as it does a feeling of lost and lonely isolation, that is equally beautiful and comforting as it is cold and solitary. http://youtu.be/-HEM6ZmP8AM
