Every end has a start, and the end has come my friends

° 2006 

+ 2012 

The Rock in Reykjavik 2.0 project is almost finished. 

So it's time to say goodbye to all my musical friends out here. 

The Save Ice Bank is bankrupt by now. 

The power of the puffin is over & out. 

Thanks for following this blog over all those years. 

My last video I shot was Q4U Live @ GG

It's time for something completely else...

Útidúr (pronounced: ooh! – detour) are a twelve-piece group comprising players on double bass, drums, trumpet, violins, a second guitar and an accordion. They play joyous and ambitious chamber-pop with a dramatic streak – think Angelo Badalamenti, Beirut, Calexico and Ennio Morricone. Útidúr has honed their craft for a while and began playing at various venues in downtown Reykjavík in late summer of 2009. On seeing them live for the first time, The Line of Best Fit declared them “just incredible. Music to fall in love and get your heart broken to.” Útidúr’s debut album This Mess We’ve Made is out now and was recorded at the Sigur Rós recording studio ‘Sundlaugin’ in the summer of 2010.
