Mugison

Mugison來自冰島fjords以西一個(gè)叫做isafjordur的邊遠(yuǎn)小鎮(zhèn)。如果你有一張冰島地圖的話，你會(huì)看到isafjordur就在你左手邊最上方延伸出去的那一塊，距北極僅需一天的水路航程。在少年時(shí)代，他曾工作于漁船、魚廠和港口（他的爸爸是isafjordur的港口老板），而後他離開isafjordur來到倫敦學(xué)習(xí)音樂。再而後，自己嘗試錄制唱片，再再而後，順理成章的發(fā)表唱片：2003年在Lifelike旗下發(fā)表處子作“l(fā)onely mountain”，此唱片手工縫制（注意是縫制），限量10,000張；2004年閑暇時(shí)間錄制作品兩張：分別為為fridrik thor fridrikkson的電影'niceland'所作的原聲，以及一張名為'patrick swayze'的唱片。
Iceland's Mugison (aka ?rn Elías Guemundsson) makes music that ranges from gentle laptop pop to heavy, flamboyant rock. Mugison was given his nickname on a visit to his dad, Muggi, in Malaysia, and began recording songs on his laptop in 2001. After moving to London, he worked with a DJ on the whimsical glitch-pop songs that became 2003's Lonely Mountain, which was released on Matthew Herbert's Accidental label. That year, Mugison and his father founded the Aldrei Fór ég Sudur (AFS) festival, and Mugison recorded the soundtrack to Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's 2004 film Niceland in a church in his hometown, Isafjordur, then settled in Sudavik before the release of his 2005 album, Mugimama, Is This Monkey Music?, which won five Icelandic Music Awards that year, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for "Murr, Murr." The album's eclectic, sometimes carnivalesque sound made fans out of Super Furry Animals, Fant?mas, and Ghostigital, all of whom invited Mugison as support on their tours. For his next album, Mugison went in a heavier, more organic direction, trading electronics for more bandmembers and cranked-up guitars. Mugiboogie was first released in 2007, and issued in the U.S. via Ipecac in 2008.
