Another week begins and another music video is in order. Last week I posted Club 8, a wonderful band from Sweden. Today, I figure that I will continue with a tour of Scandinavian bands (so you can expect music from Norway, Denmark, and Finland in the coming weeks), picking an artist from Iceland. I first discovered Emiliana Torrini during my backpacking trip through Europe in 2004. I met a nice Icelander in a train station in Oslo, Norway who recommended many bands from Scandinavia--Emiliana was among the list offered. Some of you may be familiar with her work without even knowing it. . . after all, she is responsible for Gollum's theme song in Lord of the Rings.
Anyhow, this particular song is titled, "Heartstopper." I hope that you enjoy it!

I wonder what it is about Icelandic singers that give them that child like tone and profundity. Thanks for this
Thanks for sharing Brett! First Sigur Ros and now her, I think Iceland is coming out of obscurity. I like her rendition f Sounds of Silence, I think Simon and Garfunkle would too.
What an awesome voice and an even more entertaining video. Taylor and I watched it twice. Hooray for Brett music suggestions!
Love her! I've been looking for another Icelandic singer to add to my mix.
