Despite a faltering economy, Iceland has extraordinary things brewing in its local music scene. We all already know about Sigur Ros, but Sin Fang Bous is primed to emerge next from the continental rift. Channeling a thick, jittery folk sound reminiscent of Gobbledigook, minus its grand sense of majesty, Sin Fang Bous offer a solid album of multi layered folk in Clangour. While parts of the album struggle to differentiate themsevles from the rest, standout tracks like Advent in Ives Garden and We Belong that utilize a depth of instrumentation, including myriad twinkling things, are self contained little gems of organic folk. Mottled sunshine through the window of a wooden cabin just as you realize you have one more day off before returning to work.

You had me until you said it sounded like Gobbledigook. Fuck that song.
