I would like to thank Nick Knowles and the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival for the passes for myself as well as for the Kickstarter pledges. Every year 100's of Icelandic bands and a smattering of foreign ones play in venues day and night all over Reykjavik. Journalists from all over the world come to report on the Icelandic music scene.
Tonight I want to see Mammut. A previous review sums them up. The whole of Reykjavik is alive with the sound of music!
The group is a powerhouse on stage, delivering series of searing post-punk songs that were terrifically fractured and neurotic. Guitarists Arnar and Alexandra deliver notes in tight clusters, and the songs strike like stabs to the chest. Vocalist Kata is just as aggressive: her voice is a miracle, a collection of tics and gasps and shrieks that injects the songs with the proper sense of panic. Their set was a series of well-timed thrills, breathless and invigorating"
