Lóan er komin (The Golden Plover is Coming)
A milestone in pre-Björk Icelandic neo-folk, discovered in the vaults in 2004. This recreation of three tender youngsters singing one of Iceland’s most celebrated folksongs over and over and again in the midsts of the night brought tears to Jan Voss’s eyes. The youngsters were drunk, and so were the directors of Seedy CDs when they accepted the offer of this recording. With jacket design by Helgi Thorsson.
