Army of Soundwaves

Army of Soundwaves was previously only released in Iceland on Grand Rokk. Re-released in the US on Lucid Records in 2006. This is the debut album Lokbrá.

With a sound reminiscent of Sigur Rós at times, and Björk at another time (they have a female vocalist take the lead on one song). Sometimes a bit more dancey a-la-Franz Ferdinand. This band's nuances and 70's jam influenced version of rock are well put together. Most of the songs are in English on this album, but a few are sung in Icelandic. They actually sing with a bit of an accent too.
