Reykjavík! the band.


My dear friends in Reykjavík! just released an EP called Cats. It's super rare. Haukur from Reykjavík! called me during the already overflowingly stressful Airwaves week. Here is a recording from the telephone conversation, listen:

Haukur!: Hey Lóa. How are you doing? (He always asks how you are doing because he is polite like that.)
Me: Fine. Whhhyyy? (With a skeptical tone in my voice.)
Haukur!: Just wanted to see how you are doing.....yeah so..ok I know you are a bit busy but could you possibly do me a favor?
Me: Hmm. I might.(Sweating on my upper lip, shedding 300 grams of hair from my head.)
Haukur!: Say, do you happen to have a black and white drawing of a cat?
Lóa: I sure do.

Then I used my non-existing photoshop skills to create this album cover. I realize that it is not a black and white drawing of a cat. It's two old ladies chatting away by their ice-cream wagon, in color. But there is a cat on top. I like the cat tattoos. It was actually the only drawing of a cat that I had. Haukur! and pals needed it immediately. I had no time, but I love the beautiful boys in Reykjavík! aaand I have a slight problem with saying no. I completely misunderstood the name of the EP though. I thought it was "Super rare "Cats"". I recommend to say it out loud. For your health.

I think "Internet" is a swell name for a song.
