Geschmacksfragen: Árstíðir

Die isländische Folkband Árstíðir haben kürzlich, genauer gesagt am 08. November, ihr erstes A-Capella-Album namens „Vetrarsól – Voices of the Winter Sun“ rausgebracht und sind damit aktuell auf Tour. Unter anderem sind sie am 11. Dezember zu Gast bei uns im Club Stereo. Da solltet ihr unbedingt vorbeischauen. Wir verlosen auf Insta dazu 2×2 GL-Plätze und auch 2 mal das Neue Album. Hier gibts jetzt aber erstmal unsere Geschmacksfragen mit Gunnar, einer der Sänger und Baritongitarrist der Band.

Your current favourite Song?

I recently fell in love with the song „Ljósfaðir“ by Icelandic composer Sigurður Flosason. He re-arranged it for Árstíðir for us to sing on our new album „Vetrarsól“ and I cannot get it out of my head. A beautiful song with haunting harmonies.

Your current favourite record?

„Random Access Memories“ by „Daft Punk“. It’s been my favorite album since it was released in 2013 and don’t think that is about to change anytime soon. An album that has it all – crisp beats, vocal harmonies, timeless melodies and a lot more.

Your favourite place?

The town „Voss“ in Norway comes to mind. One of the most beautiful places on earth, I visited there in the summer of 2022 where I made many new friends and went skydiving for the first time. „Siglufjörður“ in Iceland and „Lauterbrunnen“ in Switzerland are also stunning towns well worth visiting.

Your favourite drink?

Sweet Chai from Yogi Teas, my mornings wouldn’t be the same without it.

Your favourite food?

Homemade pizza – the possibilities are endless!

What you’d like to read about yourself but hasn’t been written about you yet?

I am the founder of the „Icelandic association of bad coffee lovers“ – I am amazed that the global media is not giving this more attention!
