Iceland, wow. It’s just skipped into the top ten of the ‘places-I-madly-want-to-visit-next’ list. Make sure you watch it full-screen.

Viewfinder: Sin Fang Bous – Clangour And Flutes

by Amber on September 25, 2009

Hailing from Iceland, Sin Fang Bous is the one-man project of Sindri Már Sigfússon. Sigfússon is best known for his work under the name Seabear. ‘Clangour and Flutes’ is possibly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Enchanting and whimsical, it lulls me into thinking everything is okay and time is still. Just lovely.

As for the video, I like the rough organic edges and the feeling the director’s taken acid next to a box of coloured pencils. Obviously a lot of work has gone into it, so please sit back and appreciate it (the axes are particularly delightful).

It looks like Sin Fang Bous is playing in NYC while I am there – hearing this live might be one of the finest cacophonies my ears ever hear.
