Crazy Icelandic ElectroPop gang FM Belfast have a new single incoming. ‘DeLorean’ is taken from their ‘Don’t Want To Sleep’ album of last year and is typical of FM Belfast’s quirky, but funky, electronic sound.
There a video too, directed by Magnús Leifsson, it’s as madcap as the track, and just as Icelandic and the band themselves.
‘DeLorean’ is released 22nd June.

Sykur are a new Icelandic trio who are gearing up for a September release of their début UK single, ‘Shed Those Tears’.
There’s loads of early 80’s SynthPop in ‘Shed These Tears’, there almost a Soft Cell quality to the tune, but with a nice raw contemporary Electro production style. The trio of Halldór, Stefán and Kristján already are well respected on the Reykjavik Electro scene, and the respect is well deserved, their music portrays a skill, maturity and tradition well beyond their years. The single will be backed with reMixes from the crazy FM Belfast, who cut and splice the track to give it a slightly more dancefloor vibe and DJ Kris Di Angelis who takes the track straight into Deep House territory as he gets proggy with it.

Some crazy ElectroPop now from Icelandic act FM Belfast.
Having just signed to Morr Music their first single, a re-release from their album ‘How To Make Friends’, is ‘Underwear’. It’s a prime example of the bands quirky sense of humour and analog heavy sound which appears to be about running about in your pants ‘cos your bored. FM Belfast’s sound is very Icelandic, if that makes sense, it’s strongly ElectroPop in structure but seems not to care whatsoever about what anyone else is doing, and in FM Belfast’s case that is a very good thing.

‘Underwear’ is out now digitally limited edition 7” with additional versions.
