Episode 70 - THE HISTORY OF ICELANDIC MUSIC: NEW WAVE

Today RÚV English listens to and looks at another genre of Icelandic music.

The "New Wave" washed over Iceland in the late 70s and early 80s, much as it did in many other places. Music journalist Lydia Athanasopoulou joins Darren in Siglufjörður once again, to examine Iceland's take on this music.

Tracks played on today's show:

S. H. Draumur - Ostrur

Q4U - Böring

Taugadeildin - Guðir Hins Nýja Tíma

Grafík - Þúsund sinnum segðu já

EGO - Stórir strákar fá raflost

Sonus Futurae - Skyr með rjóma

Lóla - Fornaldarhugmyndir
