BSÍ: These two new songs are the first singles from our upcoming debut album
While it’s still unclear if this band is named after Iceland’s most miserable location – Reykjavík’s grey and dull central bus terminal BSÍ –, or an acronym for ‘Brussels Sprouts Intl.’, it’s clear that the duo of Silla Thorarensen (drums & vocals) & Julius Pollux Rothlaender (bass guitar & toe-synths) are one of the most unconventional bands emerging from Iceland’s flourishing DIY/DIT (=do-it-together) scene these days.

Corrina Taylor: I have many songs I want to release this year!
Singer/ songwriter/ eternal optimist/ hopeful romantic are all the things rising pop star Corrina Taylor embodies and more. Her songs vary from the light-hearted and playful, to the emotional and deep; as she freely admits, “I write pop songs that are jigsaw puzzles of my own life and emotions”. Her lyrics are always honest and real in the hope that people will be able to relate and better understand their own hearts. Her latest single is the honest but good humoured Blue Card, a song about becoming a ‘mainstream addict,’ in this case, a shopaholic to mask the anxieties in life. Corrina spoke with The Fountain about the single as well as further plans for the year – shopping?!
