Sunna Margrét does not want you to compare it with björk. An unavoidable analogy for any stranger from Iceland that you want to generalize, since then Both artists come from the same northern archipelagoBut Margier claims as an artist.
“I think it is more about the accent than something else,” said Margaret from a side room after his performance at the Groninga Eurosonic Festival. “Of course, I make experimental pop music, so it looks like us.”
Everyone wants to be his own person, says Margaret. But two things can be true at the same time, and the artist does not have a problem in realizing what is clear: “Burke raided the way for the rest of us. It is a wonderful comparison, in fact“.
In his performance, another before the tours stopped for a while, the audience was surprised by a proposal filled with the surrounding balls between Electropop, aligned with new trends Among the dedicated artists such as Oklau.
His first album, “Feger on Tongue”, depends on songs full of weather tissues. Songs such as “Come with me” are contradicted through Low textiles of twilight and industrialWhile the sound of the soprano is imposed without forcing it. With the same ease, the matter changes to more dangerous tones, as in the spoken sections of “chocolate”, which It gives a good account of its audio range.
This last song Pure atmosphereWith suggestive combinations around the artificial battery sounds. Margrét created the entire song with a friend before playing the lyrics. Then he faced an obstacle. “I couldn’t write a melody, and for this reason I made spoken songs.” Once the clip was made, the rest of the creative process was fast. He says: “He wrote the choir in one day.”
The album soon followed, ‘FractureI mastered while I was on a tour. The three new topics More experimental in its formBut among them Margrét managed to serve some holdings of a melody.
In the midst of all this complexity of the texture, it is not surprising that songs sometimes spend years in management. Margrét has been working in the movie “I have been drinking”, a song for the album, since 2018. There are other songs that he has continued to review since 2016, when his project “I work in my music until I feel ready.”
“I allow you to have your faults. I do not feel that I should be completely polished and have a complete meaning. “It indicates defects when we talk about your live performance.” This is beautiful: it will not be perfect. Disadvantages, sometimes errors are the best parts. “
For the listener, it is difficult to find defects. Margrét speaks with confidence that can only be explained through a long profession, despite his youth. The piano began to play at the age of six, after spent years playing the flute.
Then the school teams came, the study of jazz and art abroad, and the creation of sound facilities And worship for her Fitzgerald: “I think it may be my first real effect.” With only 18 years old, join the Electropop Bloodgroup collection. His new band has been formed since 2006, which allowed him to know the scenarios of wonderful festivals across Europe.
The artist’s words revolve around Capricorn is indescribableSomething that particularly reflects the song that closes his album, “I, here in the distance”, as it expresses the desire through the rhythmic cradle song. “The goal is to continue doing this for as long as possible, because it is not a guaranteed thing,” Margaret says of his current career. But a lot of music dedication will not be possible without financing. He says, “I don’t win anything with my music.” Most of them come from Iceland.
With festivals like iceland Airwaves and boxes like Iceland Music, The Small Island Nation seeks to perfection to flourish her music scene. Artists love Rose SigurLaufeY and Abi Fryer They are just the tip of the iceberg for the country’s musical production. The height indicates Margrét’s reputation that it can soon join the state of the empirical pop legend.
