Hailing from the Faroe Islands, AGGRASOPPAR is a flower-punk alternative pop outfit that thrives on sharing the unexpected. Known for their anarchic live performances and a repertoire that spans everything from harsh noise to soft country, the trio, consisting of members Ayphinn, Dada and Sóljudrongur, has made an impact with their original sound.
Recently, they’ve brought their sound to life on stage at renowned events like Icelandic Airwaves, Reeperbahn Festival, SPOT Festival in Aarhus, Denmark and The Great Escape in Brighton, UK. Following the success of their debut album, æðrasoppar, released on Christmas Eve in 2020, the band continued their musical adventure with multiple singles and the EP døgurðaslang earlier this year, unveiling a new side to their sound.
Now, AGGRASOPPAR is back with their latest single, “KONSEPTUALISERA SAMANHALD HVØRSÍNAMILLUM,” translating to ‘conceptualised unity’ in English. The new track serves up a glimpse into their upcoming EP, titled MIDNÁTTARSANG (Midnightsong), set to drop in March next year.
“KONSEPTUALISERA SAMANHALD HVØRSÍNAMILLUM” captures the band’s groundbreaking sound and avant-garde brilliance in just over two minutes of sonic exploration. With the single, the band delivers a mind-bending slice of their highly original, genre breaking style.
Opened by the laid back punch of snapping beats, floating in a grainy atmosphere as chirping bird samples delicately flutter. Injecting stuttered instrumental shots and shifting percussive elements, the vocals enter to thread their punk rap sound. Maintaining the loose groove of the beat and gently pulsing bass lines throughout, “KONSEPTUALISERA SAMANHALD HVØRSÍNAMILLUM” sees the band spin a hazy soundscape of avant-garde music that’s at once intense and hypnotic.
Speaking about the single, the band touches on topics ranging from “existential crisis connected with lunch” to “grieving your birth” and “contextualising romanticism with the selfishness of somewhat normal people and their lack of empathy.” AGGRASOPPAR’s lyrical content is as unique as their sound, diving into complex themes and filtering them through the lens of their experimental sonic output.
