Characteristics Inherent in the Music of Iceland (Interview)

I think overall, it's always obviously dangerous to generalise about countries, but if there is something that is, I would say Icelandic. Definitely, I'd go for the starkness. I'd guess people in Iceland like things to be stark, probably like trees or something. And ideas are like that, and I would also go a little bit for that, they like extremes. But I think there are a lot of other countries that like extremes, you know, the Latins, you know, come on.

But maybе, I don't know. To do with day and night, with being so extremе here or something that we go very introvert and then very extrovert, you know, and go very very social amongst people, um, very open, but then very the other thing too, I would say there's some sort of honesty. It's kinda really hard for me to put a finger on it. It's really without a lot of layers of filters on top. It's just really, I guess you could say it's naked, but, um, yeah.

I think the isolation has given us, for start, we don't have an army, you know, and we don't need those kinda layers of protection. There's something there, I'm not sure what it is, but I think there is.
