Sykur: Frábært Eða Frábært (2009)

If only they’d put as much work into the music and the production as they did the album name.

Words by Sindri Eldon
This essentially represents everything that’s wrong with Icelandic techno: all flashy cool and glossy sophistication without having any depth or songwriting skills to back it up. FEF wheels through its forty-one and one-half minutes without offering anything of value. The guest vocalists provide some reprieve from the flatness, including a hilarious contribution from Erpur Eyvindarson, but in the end it is the album’s complete lack of dynamic sound production that does it in, especially on the drums; there’s nothing wrong with making a shallow and repetitive dance album if it sounds interesting.
