Recently spent a few days in Reykjavik on the way back from the UK and got into the quite awesome music scene over there. Actually, I've been into Icelandic music for a while but didn't get a chance to experience it first-hand until now.
Most of the record shops in RVK (yeah I'm cool like that) are just full of overpriced vinyl but I did find this nice shop/record label called 12 Tónar where I was able to sit around listening to CDs and drinking coffee for free! Bloke there recommended I check out the INNIPÚKINN music festival over the holiday weekend. I asked another guy for an Icelandic experimental electronic music recommendation. Among the acts he suggested was Futuregrapher. I ended up buying his last album Skynvera which you can listen to here:
Sounds quite good on headphones, like Aphex Twin which is probably what he was going for. Can't really get into it properly though (also like Aphex Twin).
you're right, some aphex type stuff goin on, but not a bad listen overall
