Lady&Bird

I don’t know about you guys but for me this is one hell of an album. It pains you even if you’re very happy. It’s poetry. It’s music. Here’s some info (via):

“Johannsson Bardi is an Icelandic workaholic. (…) After working on various projects such as film music and TV theme tunes, he made his first record under the name Bang Gang. The record received favorable reviews in France and in Iceland. Afterwards, Bardi decided to explore other avenues and threw himself into the production of Iceland’s first erotic television program on the Skjar Einn channel, which, right from the start, got the highest ratings. Though continuing to compose music, he launched a daily radio program that ran for a year and met with huge success. His second television program, Konfect, became the least understood television series in the history of Icelandic television. (…) His next major musical effort produced a project entitled Lady and Bird with singer Keren Ann, with whom he also wrote the book Lady and Bird Recording Diary, also distributed in Paris and now extremely rare.”

Here’s the myspace page for the project.
