Ofskynjanir frá eldgosum
(Dead Skeletons came into being in 2008 as an accompaniment to
an installation for a show at the Reykjavik art museum by artist Jón
Sæmundur (Dead). Looking for a spiritual battle hymn for the
installation in the show, Jón Sæmundur began recording with Henrik
Björnsson (Singapore Sling) and later with Ryan Carlson and Aislinn Van
Kriedt (Sunsplit, A4); Dead Skeletons was created as an art band, not as a typical touring
band. Despite of that the band went on several tours mostly in Europe
and USA).

Inspiration is born from sunset light
(Stereolab is an Anglo-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group's music combines influences from krautrock, lounge and 1960s pop music, often incorporating a repetitive motorik
beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals
sung in English and French.
Their
lyrics have political and
philosophical themes influenced by the Surrealist and Situationist
movements. On stage, they play in a more feedback-driven and
guitar-oriented style. The band also draw from funk, jazz and Brazilian
music, and were one of the first artists to be dubbed "post-rock". They
are regarded among the most innovative and influential groups of the
1990s.
Other longtime members included 1992 addition Mary Hansen (backing vocals, keyboards and guitar), who sadly died in 2002 in a street accident, and 1993 addition Andy Ramsay (drums). The High Llamas' leader Sean O'Hagan
(guitar and keyboards) was a member from 1993 to 1994 and continued
appearing on later records for occasional guest appearances).

Для тех, кто не вернется...
(IC3PEAK are Nick Kostylev and Nastya Kreslina, both audiovisual artists based in Moscow (Russia).
They create not music only but all the visual stuff also (photography, vj-ing, music videos, cover art & merch).
Their music is a natural synthesis of analog and digital sound, deep
bass, icy and sharp vocal and wailing of DIY synth in the background,
while the visual part is full of noise and sugary glitch mixed with
realistic and smooth minimalism).
