All good. It was a great show. As @steiniyagya.bsky.social can confirm, I'm a bit of a history nerd. Always loved reading about those expeditions (Amundsen - later Freuchen). Pretty much all the tracks on the album starts clear with rhythm and ends up in cold and ambiguity - almost in a snowstorm

The cover was made by Andrei Kedrin - and wanted to explore the Inuit mythologies, which is much about shapeshifter and monsters (Sedna, Anguta). We wanted to create a creature that felt familiar to it, but still was unknown - and the small human (front of the cover) facing the ultimate unknown.

The album was influenced by the Franklin's expedition (Erebus & Terror) and everything connected with exploration of the Northwest Territories. There is even a little hint in the vinyl runout - lines from a poem by Uvavnuk, 19th century inuit poet.

It still nice that the fascists crawl out of their caves, so we can point at them and laugh at them. The real crime is calling your band ClubDub - and there isn't a single trace of dub in it.

Ultimately killed by Iceland. He came every year on a fishing trip in Víðidalsá - and in the last visit he became ill and never recovered.

Spotted the artwork for my "We Become Ravens" album on this one! Fantastic cover by the fantastic Erika Tumiene.

Tveir þættir eftir! Ég elska þetta! Þetta er að bjarga SW heiminum fyrir mér eftir endalaus vonbrigði undanfarið (Kenobi, Boba, S3 af Mandalorian, osfr).

I'm really disappointed in her. She fails to see that recent discourse in the US is giving bigots everywhere the confidence to lash out against minorities. Even though, as she says, there are constitutional rights, people still face discrimination both publicly and privately.

This nifty little album is up on Bandcamp (and Spotify - and lot of other places). House groove and instrumental beats. Deep dive into nostalgia, filled with rich samples & warm textures. Pay what you like on Bandcamp (even pay nothing- I don't really care).

@ohmiceland.bsky.social and I made this about six years ago, released on AE Recordings. OHM and I have a unique chemistry—sometimes like opposites pulling in different directions. But that’s what makes it interesting—we push each other to try new things.
