Weekend! Tomorrow Night: Seabear @ Mississippi Studios
Posted by Raquel Nasser on Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 12:16 PM
The weather man predicts stormy weather for tomorrow—unrelenting rain, wind, even snow in the higher elevations—and what better way to welcome an early winter's lament then hunkering down in the Mississippi Studios showroom with the ultra-soothing tunes of Seabear?
Hailing from Reykjavik, Seabear is an aurally-ambling, experimental rock outfit fronted by the husky-yet- honey-voiced Sindri Már Sigfússon and including the accompaniment of six other Icelandic folk with equally-as-unpronouncable names:
Joining Sigfússon (whose unassisted musings are now released via his Sin Fang Bous moniker on Morr Music) are Gudbjörg Hlin Gudmundsdottir, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, Halldór Ragnarsson, Örn Ingi Ágústsson, Kjartan Bragi Bjarnason and Sóley Stefánsdóttir - all working in a wide range of solo-, band- and visual arts-projects in their own right.
Speaking of visual arts-projects—as if the band's roster is not visually-stimulating enough—check out this splattery, Jackson Pollock-meets-Blair Witch Project video for the lovely single, "I'll Build You a Fire."
You can find plenty of Seabear swag here, including their latest release, We Built a Fire. Or better yet, at the merch table tomorrow night at Mississippi Studios, next to Grandchildren t-shirts and John Heart Jackie records. Doors at 8:30pm, Show at 9pm.
