Iceland > Nora, a band in Reykjavik (18)
They're a very cool vibe, at least in rehearsal and in studio, where I get the honor of producing a new song called 'Shovel Me,' which is part White Stripes and part Zach Condon's Beirut. They're a continuous teasing, flirting, laughing crew, and the energy cures my various anxieties. In fact, the next day after these shots, I tell Ingo Juliusson that a good idea would be to get this band's sound mixed into a concert of 10 songs about murder and money, with Guns of Brixton and Floyd's money foremost in mind, with Marley's I Shot the Sheriff leaping into my head as I say it. A cover CD, and a ready-made show to match the country's sense of theft and victimization. Stay tuned, there is some hustling to be done!
