Who Knew

Born in a heat-less garage in Reykjavik, Iceland, six-piece indie band Who Knew was conceived four years ago by lead singer Ármann Ingvi Ármannson and backup vocalist and guitar player Baldur Helgi Snorrason. The duo would undergo dramatic changes in band members the next two years until it was fully formed consisting of Ármann, Baldur, Snorri Eldjárn Snorrason (lead guitar), Jökull Huxley Yngvason (Bass), Jón Valur Guðmundsson (drums) and Hilmir Berg Ragnarsson (synthesizer). Who knew is finally doing them self justice by releasing their jovial debut album “ Bits and pieces of a major spectacle” that will be released in spring 2010. Recorded in the Sigur Rós studio “the swimming pool” and their own studio ‘’Stúdíó Skjön” (translated as “the crooked studio” cause of their lack of construction skills) their homemade lair has been the perfect place for them to develop their sound. Surrounded by vintage wallpaper and burned out cigarette buds the band has defined their music as layers of trembling guitar and synthesizer melodies overlapping with falsetto voiced multi vocals from all of the band members. Produced with a very full sound their music is akin to Phil Spector..s wall of sound.

The Dope

ands, die heutzutage noch schlichte Rockmusik machen, gibt es entweder schon seit 20 Jahren oder es handelt sich um Formationen, die seit 20 Jahren den Wunsch hegen, das Produkt ihrer kreativen Ergüsse mal auf Platte zu pressen, anstatt nur zweimal im Jahr (bei Freunden) ihr Können zum besten geben zu dürfen (auf Geburtstagen zum Beispiel oder Silberhochzeiten). Auch die Zeiten des straighten Indie-Rock sind ja eigentlich schon fast vorbei. Trotzdem bedienen sich The Dope ganz puristisch nur einer Gitarre und eines Schlagzeugs. Aber The Dope gibt es weder seit 20 Jahren noch kratzen die beiden Herren die fünfzig an. Was geschieht hier?
