Don't know how many people know of this band, but I love Iceland's second favourite musical import
their sound is so haunting, you know it's them straight away.
What really strikes me about them though, are the films that accompany their music. They are probably the best that I have ever seen from a band ever.
These films(to call them a music video is an insult) redifine what a music video is. They have absolutely nothing to do with the song. If they feature the band, it will just be a cameo. They stand along as short pieces of film that can be seen without the music, in which the music just acts as a soundtrack to the film.
